DELAWARE TRIP PART 2
July 29-August 9, 2003
Because the first Delaware Trip was so great, I made a return trip! This time, the routes were almost completely different. I started the trip by heading south into Dallas before heading east on Interstate 20. From that highway's eastern end in Florence, South Carolina, I headed north on Interstate 95 to U.S. 58 in Emporia, Virginia, then went east on that highway to Interstate 64, then took that to U.S. 13, which eventually led to Delmar. On the way back, I drove U.S. 13 south to Interstate 64, and Interstate 64 west to St. Louis, then Interstate 44 west on to home. The same people who invited me before invited me back, and this was the time that I took advantage of the opportunity!
