Southern Pines, North Carolina to Cheraw, South Carolina 82
km 402 m Vertical Climb
We had another short day planned and we got a quick start
this morning.
The road was fast and 2
hours later we stopped in Hamlet, North Carolina.
Hamlet is a major train junction that has made it’s living from
the railroad from the last 100 years.
We ended up at the Hamlet Train museum, where we got a 3-hour tour from
a very knowledgeable guide. There were 3 of us; TimG and the 3
rd
person (from France) were both train buffs.
The guide rose to the occasion and we got an outstanding tour and a
surprise visit to the only Tornado train engine left in existence.
It was 3 hours well spent.
Back on our bikes we crossed the border into South Carolina
and arrived in Cheraw at 4 PM.
We
toured the old historical district of Cheraw and saw the stately homes from the
civil war era.
