After a couple of weeks languishing on the eastern bypass of Aiken and setting tongue’s a wagging all over town, the biggest thing, literally, to hit town has moved on. We know this because on our way back from Hendersonville this afternoon we were stopped by a huge commotion of cop cars and 18 wheeler trucks in the town of Johnston. The 1.2 1.89 million pound generator (according to an earlier referenced Aiken Standard article) and its entourage was parking for the night at the corner of SC 121 & SC 191.
Started up, went down, still down.

That is frickin’ huge!
We were mildly disappointed that we weren’t a couple hours earlier so we could have gotten to see the thing in motion. It is so wide that they have to close the whole 2 lane roads it travels on. It would have been an interesting parade…
