Day 53 – It was a rainy night last night and quite cloudy, cold, & windy this morning. We watched the mist blow over the Lake. The sun came out for awhile later in the afternoon & the skies cleared. The high was 50 degrees & it was quite breezy, making it feel even colder. We stayed inside all day, caught up on some things, and basically relaxed. There’s a freeze warning for tonight.

Day 51 – SO humid this morning, it takes days for towels to dry. That’s the South for ya! 64 degrees at 7 a.m. & cloudy. We’re heading into Georgia today; we’ve loved South Carolina. We couldn’t check in at our new campground until after 1 p.m., wo we weren’t in a big hurry to leave. The trailers & RV’s were lined up leaving this morning. We stuck around & relaxed, watching the mass exodus.
