RV trip to my sisters - Part 2 - 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.

We left SC and drove onto Atlanta. If you didn't know, North Augusta is "South Carolina's Riverfront". If you know where Walker Exhaust Manufacturing is in GA please comment. That is one issue with me posting things 4 years later, my memory isn't great.

 In Atlanta,we picked up the RV. We rented one through Cruise America. This was our second time doing it and we moved up to a 24 ft. RV.

Right outside the RV pick-up place we saw this "God Bless America" water tower in Atlanta. Then we saw a great Chick-Fil-A water tower. We, unfortunately, couldn't stop to get a good picture and the one I took from the RV window was bad. I just did some research and evidently, this water tower is changed pretty regularly by Chick-Fil-A. See and read more about it.

Continuation of Work Trip #9 - Atlanta, GA, October 22-25, 2006

Mom and I met in Atlanta for the National Recycling Congress. Before it started on October 23, 2006, we headed to the Georgia Aquarium. Here are some cool pictures of that.

Can you believe I was this close to this penguin?


The aquarium also has 4 whale sharks which will eventually get to be the size of 4 school buses.









Atlanta. GA.

Our hotel for the conference was the Omni in downtown Atlanta. Each day we crossed the brick courtyard to go to the conference center, guess what I saw?

Unfortunately this water tower picture was taken with my camera phone so it isn't the best resolution.

Near the end of the trip, the RV had had enough of the rain and just couldn't keep it outside anymore, so we started to get rained on inside the RV. Needless to say, the last night in the RV was spent at a cheap motel instead. Did I mention we had our 2 dogs with us too?

After Atlanta, we drove through Alabama to get to Mississippi and then onto Louisiana. I have a number of MS and LA pictures so we didn't take any in those states but we did in Alabama. Don't confuse Selma, AL with Selma, NC.

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 #27 - Georgia Recycling Meeting - May 22, 2008

Lavonia. GA.

Ross on this water tower is for Ross Controls. They are headquartered in Troy, Michigan and are an international manufacturer of pneumatic valves, controls systems, and safety products for the fluid power industry.

Notice their neighbor "Treasures" open 24 hours. Owen went with me on this trip to visit his friend Mike in Atlanta. He wouldn't let me visit Treasures.
