Waking to a beautiful dawn, we just had to sit and stare awhile! Take one last walk on the beach and marvel again at the copperish color of the sand. It's very unusual and on a close look appears to be ground shells. This layer sits over what looks like "regular" sand.
Fortunately, it becomes very cloudy and we have an easier time saying goodbye to my last flip flop day.
We really need to put some miles behind us and plan to dead head as long as Rick can drive. Make 353 miles but cannot find any private RV parks that will do. So we go to Santee State Park in South Carolina. It works out very nicely. What we are beginning to find out is that unless you're near some major attraction or a coastline, the RV parks that are simply overnight stops are just awful. The state parks, which we had avoided originally, offer a far better experience. The spaces are very far apart giving a good deal of privacy and most likely offer some great scenery.
This is on a very pretty lake and we are quite comfortable as we sit down to take-out Chinese we picked up earlier.
It's a great morning for a walk around the lake and then to cook breakfast outside. My daughter, Kelly, had tucked some mesquite wood chips in my Christmas stocking and we love using them on the grill. Tried them with bacon this morning ... terrific flavor!
We need to have another pretty big driving day and decide to get to about Richmond so we can have an easy drive and early arrival in Manassas (where we keep Gigantor) on Sunday because we have so much to unload from Tor and reload in our car.
Tomorrow is the end of what's been a great journey.
