Gerri Cohen (their daughter) remembers that as soon as her school was out the family would get on US Highway 421 in Winston-Salem and take it to Carolina Beach where they would stay all summer until just before school began in September.
Now, that's the life. Beach bum for the summer. I'd only get to do that for about a week and definitely not every summer. Perhaps if we had continued living in North Carolina and had Hurricane Hazel not destroyed my grandparents' cottage on Carolina Beach's Southern Extension, I might have been able to do that as well.
Us Highway 421 goes right through Carolina Beach and ends at the "Rocks" by Fort Fisher, about four miles away. I have taken US-421 from its northern terminus in Michigan City, Indiana, all the way to the "Rocks." Before I-40, it was the way to go from Winston-Salem (which it passes through) to Carolina Beach.
