Day 115


After a wonderful break at Karen and Larry’s place, we had to leave and move on to pastures new.

Thank you both very much for your crashing hospitality!! You too, Sally.

We left Clemmons and took back roads all the way south in North Carolina, and wiggled our way into South Carolina, east of Charlotte, without going on any freeways.

We passed miles and miles of cotton fields, white as snow in places, but we are not sure of the harvesting time, so we don’t know how ready the cotton was.

We also saw yet another rainbow, this one came from nowhere.

We were going to spend the night at a rest stop, near Charleston, but there are signs posted everywhere forbidding, under pain of death or something, any overnight camping, so we trogged on, past Charleston, and Marlipops did it again!!

She found a perfect campsite, 12 miles away from the big city of Charleston, and we have full hook ups for very cheap, and we are in some secluded woods, facing a lake, and with no neighbors.

Brill!!

We intend to stay for at least 3 nights, coz we want to investigate both Charleston and Savannah, Georgia, which is not a million miles away.

Wildlife watch today was nothing except the red cardinals in Karen’s backyard, and the dog.
