Beaufort for Thanksgiving 2013
Traveled to Beaufort, SC to look at houses. Don met me so I could get his opinion of the area since I would very much like to make a GOOD decision on this next move. [Show picture list]

SC and GA October 2013
Delayed the trip by a week due to the tropical storm heading into the area and then another two days when two fronts met creating rain. I lucked out and then hit a two week window of almost perfect weather. The first stop was Charleston for 3 days. I did a long walk of the […]
Aftermath of Charleston trip
Driving home from Charleston I simply could not believe how disgusting my vehicle was. It was beyond filthy. It shouldn’t be possible for a vehicle to be that dirty. Yellow labs shed a ridiculous amount year round but twice a year, when they change coats, they shed an almost obscene amount. I was aware they […]
Edisto State Park and storms that evening
We ran out to Edisto in the morning. I loved the beach front resort area. Everyone riding bikes or walking, cool beach houses. Edisto State Park is split into two sections. The beach and not-so-beautiful beach camping. A short distance away is the area with numerous trails through forest and a campground that buries each […]
Charleston
It was hot and humid in Charleston so it limited how much I could stand to do outside. It was killing the dogs too. Loved the city and really loved all the palm trees. I plan to go back in cooler weather and do a lot of walking around downtown.
Hunting Island State Park and Beaufort
I had forgotten until I got on the road that I had never been on I-40 east of Knoxville since I have previously dropped down 81 from the northeast to get on 40 and go home to Texas. The drive through the Smokies is spectacular with constantly winding roads until you get past Asheville in […]
Natural Bridge State Park Kentucky
I was pleasantly surprised by the part of rural Kentucky I drove from London to Slade. Homes are kept up, lawns are mowed, flowers are planted, and yards are not full of trash. It’s clear these people take pride in their homes and it makes touring the area pleasant and the scenery picturesque. When I […]
Inaugural trip (or stupid new camper tricks)
Lucked out while loading the camper and only had misting rain. Not so lucky when leaving. It started raining in earnest and poured for the first hour and a half. I tucked in behind semi’s that were taking it easy and let all the traffic fly by. The rain had pretty much stopped when I […]
Panhandlers for gas
While coming back from my first trip with my new camper I stopped for gas before I was to get on I-75 in Kentucky, as always worried about mileage and the cost of traveling. I was pumping gas when two young women approached me asking me to give them gas in the container they were […]
Cumberland Falls State Park
Cumberland Falls are called the “Niagra Falls of the South” and are known for having a moonbow on clear, full moon nights. I would love to go back to see that. This was just a quick side trip to see the falls. It was a beautiful 75 degree day and as we walked along the […]
