We got outta Dodge via the typical route over to 74/76 and cruised down past Lake Waccamaw to take the awesome roads through Columbus Co. . 905 drops us onto Rt. 9 in Longs, SC. We hit 31 and got off on Robert Edge Prkwy. Dummy rePete took a Ralph instead of a Louie, so we had to cruise past the Harley at the Beach and head back North. Sorry...
We got into Sonic and every Cruiser got a stall and started to look over the menu and ordering. I personally have never been to a Sonic and I am a BIG FAN!!! They brought out our food, but we had to eat OFF the property. We all pulled up a piece of the curb in the parking lot next door and had a nice little lunch and small talk!
Back on the bikes, we headed north into Cherry Grove Beach. The Dairy Hut was a nice little joint a block off the ocean and things were very quiet. Cherry Grove is quiet to begin with, but the beaches being closed and no vacationers, it was very quiet and peaceful. Several Cruisers got Sundaes and we all hung out on the front deck and enjoyed the sunshine and joking around.
Time to head back to ILM. We headed up 65 to 9 and I lead the train through Little River and back into NC. The rest of the ride was 17N. We stopped in Supply for gas, said out goodbyes with fist bumps, elbow bumps, and the COVID River Dance!.
