We woke to sunshine and a lovely warm day! We got here in
around 5 hours with 2 stops. (one for diesel and turned on the generator to exercise it while we drove plus we grabbed our lunch and the other stop was to turn off
the generator and just took a break)
On the way, we passed a water tower in the shape of a peach.
Didn’t get great shots as we flew by it.
The Peachoid (known locally as The Peach) was commissioned
to be built in 1980-81 by the Gaffney Board of Public Works, and contractors
took five months to design and mold the steel. A seven ton, 60-feet long leaf
was applied to one side. A New Jersey artist, Peter Freudenberg, painted the
sphere after studying local peaches for many hours. It took fifty gallons of paint
in twenty colors.
According to official literature, the Peachoid boldly
"sets the record straight about which state is the biggest peach producer
in the South. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT Georgia."
Driving past Winston-Salem
our first glimpse of Pilot Knob
Wow, this is our most beautiful view yet! It’s a small park
with only 10 pull through spaces all with a beautiful view of Pilot Knob. Greystone
RV Park. What a great spot!
