Traveling along from South of the Border, SC to Kings Bay, GA

South of the Border, South Carolina

January 20th - Monday 68 degrees

We left South of the Border on Sunday Morning, after walking over to the restaurant to have a lovely breakfast.  We both needed a walk and our camping site was a very secure area protected by a gated area, so we left the car connected and took a walk.  Our check out time was at noon and we took advantage of the late time.  We needed our heavy coats and I wore my mittens, the cool breeze was refreshing after being inside of the RV for several days.

Once we were back on the road, I set the GPS for Savannah, straight shot on route 95, with a short time on 295, we put our cd's in to listen to our book by Stuart Woods and we were off.  It did not get above 38 degrees, so when we stopped for lunch we ate inside. We arrived at Ft. Hunter in Savannah at 6:00 pm and drove to the camping area at Lotts Island and found that there were no openings, so we dry camped.  Thankfully, we had stopped en-route and filled with  propane so at least we had heat for the night.

We called Casey and told him we had arrived and he was kind enough to bring dinner to us.  He and his friend spent the evening with us and we dined with candle light.    Casey has just started a new job here in Savannah and we were hoping to spend several days there to take in the historical sites.  We did not take into consideration that it was Martin Luther King Day and there was a huge parade scheduled for Monday!!  Thanks to our GPS it got us out of town and back on route 95 and on our way to Kings Bay, GA.

I tried several times to call Kings Bay to see if we could get reservations for tonight, but only got a recording, so we took a chance and drove on in and when we got here found that the office was closed due to MLK Day!!.  They had one site available so we are here, but don't know if we will be able to stay.  They have a free laundry here, so took advantage of that and did the little that we had accumulated and used my clothes bars that Susie gave me several years ago to hang many of them on in the sunshine and wind to dry.  It was 68 degrees here today and they smelled so good when I brought them inside.

I fixed pork chops, sauerkraut and baked potatoes for dinner and put it in the oven and we took a walk while our dinner was baking.  I made a nice fruit salad using an orange that Casey brought to us last evening.  Now tonight we can get showers, and wash our hair and be ready for whatever comes tomorrow, we also are going to  have some colder weather.  Thankfully, it won't be as cold as forecasted in PA.

Some kind of a berry bush we saw on our walk, not blueberries

The long needle pines that I love.
