Well...when I,and most of my buddies graduated from high school, we all headed to Myrtle Beach, SC for the weekend. We left at about 11am, takes about 4hrs most of the time. But this time, it took about 8! It seems that most of the state of NC high schools graduated on the same day and all of the graduates had the same idea! So, about 100 miles from the beach, we hit a major traffic jam. No wrecks...just 100,000 cars trying to get from a 4 lane divided hwy onto a two lane 35mph road that headed down to the coast. Our convoy consisted of two olds cutlasses, two Z-28s, two Toyota SR5 4x4's and about 10 other cars. The trucks were loaded down with coolers full of beer on ice and beach chairs. So, after sitting still for about 15 minutes, we all turned off the cars and just started walking around on the highway....and sharing beers with anyone that wanted one. Remember, it was 1pm in JUNE in South Carolina...NO SHADE! I then remember a lot of women walking around with bikinis on.... and the guys were down to their swim trunks and flip flops....all of the car radios were tuned into the same station....I think we were there for about an 1hr...but it seemed like several ... and we finally got the idea to move when we looked up the road and noticed that all the cars were gone!....and the ones behind us had started passing by us on the shoulders of the road yelling vulgarity at us as they went by.....Ah...to be young and foolish again....and the law man didnt care...those were good times.....
