(14,912 posts)but it was about 10 -12 miles from the Pee Dee River. We used to ride our motorcycles down that road at night, running about 120mph... NO HELMETS... and deer could have jumped across the road at any time. I look back and wonder how I survived it. This was back in '91...
I usually just say Darlington because most people don't know where Florence is, but it was outside of Florence too... one road took us into Florence, the other into Darlington.
The last time I was there was in 1999. I was doing a roofing job on a new school in Lake City, and took a ride after work one day to see if anyone was still around where I used to live. I pulled up to the house behind where I used to live, because we basically shared a back yard there and had a pig roast almost every weekend. Lo and behold, there was ol' Junior Watford standing in the yard. It took a second for him to recognize me, probably because we were both sober and I hadn't been there in 8 years, but I got out and we talked for a couple of hours.
Peace,
Ghost
