Saw this street sign on Route 17 in South Carolina toady, so I went back and used it as a backdrop for a photo op:

Nice pic.

Right next door to Camp Lejeune. What a coincidence.

Do a Google Earth for Semper Fi Dr, Awendaw, SC 29429 and you can go down to a "street view" of that exact spot. That "Dr" btw, seems to be barely improved and would likely NOT be Vette-friendly if you drove back into the woods on it. Seems to eventially dead-end after passing a couples houses set well back off the road back there deep in the woods.

Gotta love Google Earth.

You're right about the road. It's gravel. Smooth, but still gravel. It also looked private, so I only pulled far enough on to it to get the pic.

I was on my way back home after promoting a friend of mine, with whom I had served in Iraq, to Colonel in the Air Force at The Citadel in Charleston. It turned into a mini-reunion of sorts, as a handful of others with whom we served in Iraq were there as well, traveling from as far as Texas and Illinois. Three years ago the USAF Colonel and I pinned a set of Marine Corps 2ndLt bars on his oldest son at that same place. I saw the sign as I passed it at 65 MPH and thought it was worth a stop and backtrack for the photo. Given that it was Memorial Day weekend and the purpose of the trip, it all made sense.
