Today we transitioned from Winter to Spring, and a temperature of +21c by the time we reached Hilton Head Island..
We got under way at 8:15am, with the car covered in frost from the night, no snow but the temp was -8c and the parking lot was ice.
We had bright sunshine which was a relief from the gray weather of the past weeks, but lots of snow on the side of the road and in the tree tops, made for a picture perfect landscape. In about 30minutes of driving we started to notice a change in snow depth and by the time we reached the border of West Virgina and Virgina the snow was only 5cm deep.
In reaching the junction of I-81 and I-77 the snow that remained was on the shadow side of the hills and the temp was up to +6c.
We took I-485 to bypass Charlotte, NC, this is a new ring road and saved us about 30 minutes, there were hardly any cars on it and it moved above the speed limit.
As we stopped for lunch in Rock Hill, SC the temp was +15c and of course no snow. We had lunch at a interesting Pizza restaurant called Empire State Pizza Deli & Bar, worth the stop.
After lunch we continued on our way I-77 to I-26 to I-95 and then off to Hilton Head with Karen taking on the afternoon shift.
We are staying in Hilton Head at Palmetto Dunes in St. Andrews Common with are good friends Sheila and Ted Gail (from Oakville) which is very nice private condo complex overlooking the gold course and the lagoon has its own 6ft alligator named "mosses", checked with the Euclid he does not this guy.
We parked the trailer in a secure storage area run by Public Storage which about 1km away, so the trailer and motorcycle are safe for a few days.
Ken and Karen on the road.
