BMX Supercross is the only Olympic-Caliber BMX Facility on the U.S. east coast. It hosts World, National, Regional and Local Races, Nothing was happening when the two RV Gypsies drove by there, but they thought their son-in-law might want to attend some events here, so they took some photos, since everyone was new to the area. |

The two RV Gypsies had packed a picnic lunch and found two picnic tables next to the Pump House Restaurant at 575 Herrons Ferry Road in Rock Hill. So while Lee Duquette was setting up the picnic, Karen Duquette took a few photos. Of course they did not eat there since they had a picnic lunch with them. The Pump House prices are a bit too high for the two RV Gypsies, unless maybe for a special occasion in the future. |
