And then there were two

Today Zach left the team for a while, but don't worry, he'll be back in a month or so. See how he's not even sad about it.


Steve and I will be driving the R.A.O.S. van around until then. Today we were around North Myrtle Beach. Almost the first thing we saw when we got to the city was a Cheerwine truck stopped at a gas station. We decided to pull over and meet whoever was driving it. It turned out to be this nice guy named Chester from Charlotte. We talked for a while and gave him a Cheerwine for the road.

We drove down a small backroad and ended up at an Animal Shelter where some women were gardening outside. They appreciated the cold drinks we gave them a lot and told us to go inside. When we got in there were animals all over the place. We met Sasha the dog and Mean Patches the cat. I guess there is also a nice Patches somewhere.


Just down the street from the animal shelter was a practice building for a local fire department. We helped them take a break by giving them some Cheerwines taking a few pictures.


We left and tried to find the mayor of the city. She wasn't at town hall but everyone else working there enjoyed getting some Cheerwine. There were quite a few people inside who had never tried it before.
Neither of us had even seen the beach since we got here so that seemed like the next logical place to find thirsty people. We walked on the beach and then to a fishing pier where we found a group of fishermen who had never tried Cheerwine before. One of the guys, who was from Ohio, immediately began asking us where he could buy a cases of Diet Cheerwine to take home.

It was a good day for meeting people. Tomorrow we'll be around Ocean Isle, come find us!

COME to some of the military bases!!!!, we finally have Cheerwine at a couple of the shopettes (convienece stores) at Fort Riley, but we want it all over here in kansas. It reminds us of home since I am from NC, and Hubby is from VA. We want it on every base for all the carolina natives who miss this great taste of home!!!!!
