Where is it cool?

We spent three and half days running hard (for us) seeking cooler weather. Those nights were spent at small truck stops in Georgia, Mississippi, and Missouri. It wasn't cool but it was time to slow down and rest.

Buck Hall

After spending four days in the primitive site at Honey Hill, we needed a place to dump the black tank and replenish our fresh water supply. Roughly 15 miles south of our location was another National Forest campground called Buck Hall Recreation Area.

Google map of Francis Marion National
Forest

The Francis Marion National Forest is located about 30 miles north of Charleston South Carolina and located near the town of
McClellanville is a primitive campground named Honey Hill Recreation area (location is not the dot on the map). We made our base camp here for 4 days and 5 night which is the limit of our water supply and black tank capacity. Honey Hill makes a great base camp for exploring Charleston or the wildlife management areas to the north.

Friends and beachs

When I Googled the word friend, the first definition that popped up was this;

a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.



This definition fits my friend Alan to a tee. 

Neuse River Recreation Area

After leaving Virginia Beach, we stopped for a night (that turned into 2) at Flanners Beach Campground which is located in the Neuse River Recreation area which is located in the Croatan National Forest. Confused yet?

On The Road (at last)

The day finally arrived, June 28th 2016. We had worked on final touches, minor repairs, and loading everything we would need for the next year into our 18.5 foot fifth wheel. Well almost everything. As I write this, about a week and a half later, we have listed missing items ranging from several cooking pans to a rain coat, not to mention the 1st aid supplies we had accumulated over the past year or so.
