December 16 2013 -- Hunting Island SC to Townsend GA

Here we go again.....
The sun started peaking through Sunday afternoon.  I actually got out and walked around the grounds and close to the beach.

Hunting Island State Park SC
 The Pacific Ocean was right behind our camper.  Prissy and Gary had been here before on their walks; but it was my first view.  The beach was still wet from the drizzly rain that we had been having for several days.  I was needing some sunshine.  After being under the shelter of the pines and palms and clouds, I was ready to feel a few sun rays.


 What do you think?  The ocean must be slowly eating away the shore lines?  I love these old trees.  There is beauty somewhere in them.


This is our camper and you can see how close we are to the ocean.  The rates for this island park $31.62 per day or half off if you stayed for a month.  A good discount.

Sunday afternoon Gary wanted to go out again, mainly to see the lighthouse on the island  We drove southeast to  Fripp Island.  Quickly we found out that this was a private island and you needed to live there or have an invitation to get pass the gates.  Snobs!

Fripp Island
 I was able to sneak a picture of this little shanty through the trees.  Wonder who lives here?  There were several homes along the shoreline.  Oh, the life of the rich and famous?
Private Home on Fripp Island
 We headed home and drove through dense trees and vegetation to the lighthouse.  You could walk to the top; but really people, can't you see what it looks like from this picture?

 Monday morning, December 16, we packed up and headed south.  Finally, I was able to get a state sign.  We have been across the borders several times, but the driver has a heavy foot and the roads are bumpy and I was just able to get a good sign today.  We have settled into a little RV park at McIntosh Lake Campground & RV Park, 1093 McIntosh Lake Lane, SW; Townsend GA  31331.  We will stay here for two weeks.  I voted to not travel over Christmas.  Better to safe and sound hopefully.  Gary did inform me that there will be a guest Christmas dinner in the club house.  Turkey and Ham will be furnished by the owners and the guests are to bring side dishes.  The rates here are $150 per week/$21.50 per day.

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to

Day 19; Badlands and Wall, South Dakota

Image
This day was probably one of my best for this trip.  I had never been to the Badlands.  The weather was perfect.  Miss Priss was not.  Gary thought she should go along.  I decided I was going to get two shock collars.  One for her when she yeps, and one for Gary when he sleeps while driving. The Badlands was interesting. They had buffalo grazing and a lot of native grass fields.  We drove on dirt roads for 30 miles to cross this area.  The dirt in places was a white color.  I asked Gary what this was (I thought it might be salty) and he explained something about it did not or it did have a special chemical makeup that was above my head and memory. Our next stop was Wall, South Dakota, to visit the famous Wall Drug Store. I could not find my charms in this store.  I did find a purse I liked in the store behind Gary and his silent friend.  Handsome couple of gents!  Gary was full and content as we ate lunch at the drug store.  We were suppose to have hot beef sandwiches and I accid
