Roadtrip from South Carolina to Maryland.

In October, my stepmother Betty and I drove down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to attend a friend's wedding. While we were there 50,000 motorcyclists were also there for a fall gathering. We took our time driving back to Maryland and saw some of the sites. Hurricane Isabel had arrived very recently and we saw remnants of destruction throughout North Carolina.

Beginning of a beautiful day! Sunrise on Myrtle Beach, S.C.	The wedding of Bernice and Ed The newlyweds on the beach after the ceremony. This wedding was so fun. My step-mother's friend for over 20 years got married right on the beach. What a special wedding for two folks in love later in life!	Another great day! Myrtle Beach sunrise. I walked the beach every morning to take pictures of the beautiful sunrises.	The Fall Gathering These were some of the 50,000 cyclists in Myrtle Beach. They offered to take my picture on one to make my boys jealous!
Sweet Taters Before we hit the North Carolina border, we stopped to buy sweet potatoes from this young woman. She and her family grew them. They were delicious!	Country Store This was a small country store, across the line in North Carolina. They had home grown vegetables and fruits, put up fruits and homemade jellies and jams. They also had home smoked sausages and hams. It was a very popular roadside stop- especially homemade cider and lemonade!	The Real Thing Old fashioned coke machine at the Cracker Barrel. This town is also known for their Smithfield hams.	Old timey display More Cracker Barrel "antiques". They make displays as if in an old-time general store. The restaurants are also decorated with real antique items and photos and serve traditional "comfort" foods.
Aftermath of Hurricane Isabel Hurricane Isabel had picked up trees like they were toothpicks. We saw a mobile home just before dusk that was tipped over and a total loss.

I have been looking and looking to find sweet potatoes from South Carolina, my husband and I were in Myrtle Beach South Carolina in October/2006 and bought a crate of sweet potatoes on the main highway in Myrtle Beach. The best sweet potatoes I've had since I was a kid. Can you tell me how I can find this road side stand? Maybe they can ship me some. I will be willing to pay what ever the cost. It is so rare to find a good sweet pootato in Maryland. I have gone to most of the farmer markets here in Maryland, but can't find any to compare with the ones we got in Myrtle Beach. Thank you for your help
