We came to the KOA in Florence, SC to get away from the shore crowd over the Easter weekend. The camp was almost empty yesterday but is filling up quickly. We will stay here for another two nights and then move to Myrtle Beach for a few days before continuing north. As always, we can use the r

Today we drove into Charleston and parked by White Point Gardens. Flat Stanley and Monk wanted to stay in the truck so we left them. They aren't as dumb as they look. We walked through downtown to the old market and then through the French Quarter. This time we walked through the neighborhood

We are now camped at Lake Aire RV Park just west of Charleston. Yesterday we took a day trip from Savannah to Hilton Head Island. It was very nice but not our cup of tea. It seemed a little uppity with no access to much unless you were at a resort. If you were looking for a picture of the Hil

Today we went to Silver Springs, the home of the glass bottom boats. The springs are the source of the Silver River and provide 550 gallons of crystal clear water daily. The park borders the Ocala National Forest and many of the cruises we took were into the forest. We went mainly because, how

Paul and Carol and their camping group left this morning. Paul was in a hurry to get home because his 1/2 mile long street made the local news because it was hit by lightning last night and they wanted to make sure they still had a house. (All was well when they got home) This morning, Bailey
