We woke up this morning and had our cup of coffee together in bed. Gina went and put one load of laundry on since the washers & dryers are free here. Gina got the inside ready to move while I got everything outside picked up and put in its place. We met a couple Ellis & Dolly who were interested in our Excel so we gave them a tour of ours. They were taking a drive today to go look at one a dealer had in Ocala. We talked for a little while longer about other fulltime rated rigs and what is out there. They are fulltimers but still own a house too. From there I got hooked up and we pulled out at 11:30 heading for Beaufort, South Carolina.
We arrived at Tuck in the Woods campground located on Saint Helena Island at four o’clock. There were a lot of trees to navigate to reach our site but we made it.

Truck & Home Tucked in the Woods

The wife of the owner wasn’t too happy with my truck for some reason but her husband was nice. The atmosphere and setting here is excellent except for the bugs. Once we got all setup I grilled some hot dogs for dinner. Both Gina and I were starving and hot dogs were quick and they tasted great with chili & cheese. Gina hasn’t been feeling well today so she went and laid down while I coated myself with “Off” and went bike riding through the campground. After I finished I loaded the bike back into the truck and went inside to check on Gina. She was still in bed so I set up and read for a while. Finally went and got in bed around ten o’clock calling it a day. We're excited about tomorrow as we are hoping to see Thomas on base. He is supposed to have three hours of free time tomorrow but we do not know when those hours will be. Our intent is to go on base and hang out at the exchange. Gina is looking for some Marine Corps memorabilia so it can be used in Thomas’s scrapbook. Stay tuned and we’ll let you know if we got to visit with Thomas. It was a nice travel day of only 210 miles.
Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
Hey Rollie and Gina,
ReplyDeleteWe were in that area last summer and enjoyed a visit to Hunting Island State Park - there is a nice lighthouse and walking trails there. We also had a good lunch at the Shrimp Shack just outside the state park. If you're interested, you can read our blog about it:
