to Backwoods Quail Club in Reams, S.C. the other day for my annual quail hunt with my father-in-law and son, the travel app Waze sent us on a new path. In the past, Waze has always given me the same directions, but this time it told me to drive out Independence Boulevard.
I’m pleased to see that the Monroe connector is the fastest way to get to the Georgetown area of South Carolina. I served two terms on . Turnpike Authority in early 2000, and I remember leaving this exact hunt trip to attend a board meeting in Raleigh. I also remember thinking at that time that we’d never get the “Monroe Connector” toll road built, so it was a joy as I found myself zipping along 75 mph, bypassing 23 stoplights to arrive at my destination 20 minutes faster and with less fatigue than in previous years.
