Yes, there will most certainly be a next time. Possibly a good place to go in the winter for a weekend. And yeah, some of the roads are pretty rough in areas. nothing too bad, just a bunch of patch work. but 26 is ok, and most of in town. Out towards Mt Pleasant and Sullivan's island is a little nicer.

What would you all suggest for a meeting spot? Somewhere near North Charleston Mall? Sullivan's Island? We DEF need to do a photo shoot by the water at the battery!

The old Navy yard is a great location for shots, although the roads getting in there are a bit rough. It can be done, though. I've shot a few slammed cars in that area and they only scraped once or twice if they took their time.

Our agenda is leaving MD thursday August 8th around 8pm, making it to Smithfield/Selma, NC that night, crashing there, then waking up getting something to eat, meeting up with DougEFresh, and continuing the trip to Charleston to put us there Friday afternoon. Probly go out downtown friday night, then do our meet up around lunch Saturday and figure out a place to take some photos. I assume we just meet at the North Charleston Mall, as there is Outback, Hooters, Olive Garden (I think), etc. So plenty of places to choose from.

Unless any of those from Chucktown have any better suggestions.

Just some suggestions:

-At our last meet we met at the Mt Pleasant Pier ( http://www.ccprc.com/index.aspx?NID=1171 ) 71 Harry M. Hallman, Jr Blvd, Mt Pleasant. This is under the big bridge that connects downtown Charleston to Mt. Pleasant. This is a good location because if you choose to eat downtown Charleston it allows a group drive over the bridge and there are a lot of nice restaurants in Mt. Pleasant as well.

-Since you all are traveling from such a far ways away, do you really want to eat at a chain restaurant?
Parking downtown Charleston may be a bit tough and a garage may be your best bet (but be cautious of those with steep entrances/exits) or paid parking lots.

My suggestions in no particular order:
