RV trip to my sisters - Part 1 - South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama - December 2014

This is going to be a 3 part post.

Owen and I drove from Washington, DC to Atlanta, GA where we picked up an RV and then drove on to West Monroe, LA to see my sister and her family. See our route here. As you will see from the pictures it RAINED the whole time.

I didn't take any pictures in VA or NC. I have so many from NC already which you can peruse on this blog. So the pictures start in SC. The small town of McBee, SC had 3 water towers. One for the town, one for a rural water district and one for the AO Smith Water Heater plant (unfortunately the pic didn't come out well). It has a population of 867 people! As we drive the back roads looking for water towers I always wonder, what do people do in these small towns for a living? Is the large rural water tower for agriculture? If anyone knows, please comment. Also, I tried to figure out what the graphic on the Camden, SC water tower is and couldn't figure it out. If anyone knows, please comment.

Work Trip #15b (very out of order) - Greenville, SC - March 19, 2007

Blacksburg. SC. 

I found some more old watertower pictures. I was on my way to the Carolina Recycling Association again. This time in Greenville, NC.

This was at a Pall Mall facility. You know - the cigarette company.

I posted some other pics here of the trip.

I thought this was a great watertower. It looks a little like a hot air balloon.

Carolina Recycling Association Conference - Myrtle Beach, SC - March 2005

Myrtle Beach, SC.

I found these pictures hidden away. This was one of many trips I took to various Carolina Recycling Association conferences. In 2005, we went to Myrtle Beach for the conference and I took a couple of coworkers with me - Emily and Ben. Fun times.

Ben is now the recycling coordinator at UNCG and Emily left Wake County to start a family.

Work Trip #30 - Myrtle Beach, SC - August 18, 2008

Let me first say that I got a GPS for Christmas in 2007. It has been a great help on all of these trips. You have to have faith in the GPS though. Don't second guess it.

So I headed to Myrtle Beach for the day for a Beverage Association Meeting. The GPS took me via the backroads and I got these water tower pictures.

I got the old and new water tower in this picture.
