Monsters!

The drive south from Williamsburg took us part way along Highway 17 (also known as 'The RV Route') usually frequented by the 'Grey Nomads'. We liked it because we saw more of 'everyday' America, not just the concrete of the interstate.

Two interesting sights along the way: the Monster Truck repair garage with this 'beast' proudly displayed out front; and the hazard warning sign showing a bear.... My lovely husband became very proficient at performing u-turns - so that we could go back, have me hang out the window with camera at the ready, before continuing. The lovely lady at the Tourist info stop a bit further down the road told me that they had tagged over 200 black bears in the swamp land, and that underneath that road we were travelling on, were tunnels for the bears to use to cross the road safely. However, she did say that sadly, this year, there have been 5 accidents caused by bears on the road. I don't know what I would have done if I'd seen a bear on the loose!
