Anyone remember being 17?

Did any of you drive to the beach when you were 17? Me and my friends did it all the time. It's only 2 hours from here.

[mush]

Didn't drive to the beach til I was 18, but was almost 5 hrs. away too.

When I was 17, #17 was still decent behind center.

Aw. You're still a baby.

My son is making his first drive by himself to Beaufort tomorrow. He'll probably get lost, even though it's a straight shot down 70. My uncle is taking him fishing.

I grew up on the coast, my town had three beaches plus some island in the sound.

I don't think I went to the beach once when I was 17 specifically though, during the summer I was in quetico provincial park and I think I was allergic to sand the rest of the year or something.

haha so true. it was like once I got out of high school everything just clicked.

We went everywhere; the beach, kings dominion, busch gardens.

I wish he had someone riding with him, though. I'm worried about the drive back Saturday evening. He has to be at work early early Sunday morning, or he could stay the weekend.

I guess a fair comparison (since I've always lived near the beach) was the fact that me and my buddy's used to drive down to Myrtle (1.5 hours) and cruise the strip at that age... fun times.

When I turned 17, Reagan had been president for 6 months. So no, I don't remember it. :)

My friends and I drove to the beach as soon as we could drive (often skipping school to do so).
