Day 35 – It was 36 degrees this morning & sunny, still windy. My knee was aching most of the night, and this morning I was unable to put much weight on that leg. I don’t have any idea what I did to it, but unfortunately, no “Gators of the Lowcountry” for us today. Rob has had a bump between his cheek & ear that’s been sore & it’s getting worse – not looking too good right now. So we made doctor’s appointments for tomorrow in Charleston. It looks like we’ll have to go into the big city after all.

Day 34 – It was 29 degrees at 8 a.m., windy & sunny. We packed up & got ready to travel, leaving the Park at 11:20 after waiting in line at the dump station – we weren’t the only ones heading out. We weren’t positive about where we were going to be spending the night. We’d talked about going back to Buck Hall Recreation Area; we’d had a great time there in 2017. The campground is located in Frances Marion National Forest & because of the shutdown, we’d been unable to get any information as to whether the Buck Hall Campground would be open.

Day 33 – It rained hard last night, 55 degrees and windy this morning at 8 a.m. We did a big batch of laundry, picked up a few groceries, and stopped at a Jersey Mike’s to grab a couple of sandwiches for lunch. We hadn’t been to Jersey Mike’s in about a year since there aren’t any near us in Maine or NY. The sandwiches were delicious, fresh and tasty!

Day 32 – Month 2 begins today. I take it back; the people that arrived yesterday afternoon who are camping next to us are not quiet like our other neighbors. They have a dog that barks, growls & squeals at the slightest activity around us. But worse is the woman who shouts, “STOP” or “HEY” at the dog continuously. What a difference when we compare the people on the other side of us who also have a dog! Their dog contentedly lies outside & is obviously quite satisfied with its conditions & environment. Oh well, you can’t win them all. Most of our stay at this State Park has been perfection. Continue reading

Day 31 – We slept in this morning; it was 43 degrees at 8:30 a.m. & partly cloudy. Rob took a long hike along the Sandpiper Pond Nature Trail while I went thru my slow waking-up process. I definitely don’t bounce out of bed in the mornings, raring to go like he does!

Day 30 – At 7:30 a.m. it was 33 degrees, sunny & no wind. Rob took a walk to the Ocean. He said it was a beautiful beach, but there were no birds. He did see plenty of birds at Sandpiper Pond which he passed on the way to the beach. There was frost on the boardwalk.

Day 29 – Rob was up at 7:45 a.m. It was a nice morning for a walk on the boardwalk. Mostly sunny & 40 degrees. He came back with amazing pictures of a Great Blue Heron hunting for breakfast. This must be a well-known birding location. In addition to lots of people walking their dogs, there are plenty of people staring up into trees with long lenses on their cameras. We are taking our cameras to the Brookgreen Gardens today since this is forecast to be the sunniest day in our near future.

Day 28 – It was supposed to be partly sunny this morning by 10 a.m. It’s after 12:30 p.m. right now & still very cloudy. We’d wanted to get some pictures (with sun) of this area and maybe go birding & gatoring. It was 33 degrees at 7:30 a.m. this morning. The girls are very happy with the heated pads!

Day 27 – Cold, windy, and rainy this morning, 43 degrees. Lots of RV’s clearing out early, not row after row of campers anymore. The temperature didn’t rise much during the day with a high of 48 and continued rain and wind; we just stayed indoors and caught up on things – reading, cooking, naps, etc. Leaving tomorrow for Georgia. We enjoyed South Carolina; every State has been different, each with its’ own charm. Continue reading
