Adventures of camping

6/21/12   WE started our month and 1/2 camping trip at 9am,  headed for Eufala AL.   We met up with our friends just as we got off I 10 on us 231 for Eufala.  We stopped at a Subway with  Ann and Mike W. for lunch,  when we went back to the truck, it would not start.  Henry's key was stuck in the ignition and we could not work anything.  Mike W. tried to jump start us but it did not work.  Henry called the Dodge dealer in Mariana and was told we still had roadside insurance, call the tow truck.  In the mean time the Philbricks meet with us and also waited for the tow truck . The tow truck guy was able to jump us and get us going again.   The Weirs took our boxes of food and the Philbricks took our case of wine, in case we were going to be delayed.

We went to the Mariana Dodge Dealer, it was the battery, everything was under warrenty.  Now it is 5pm and we head to WhiteOak st park.   We arrive around 7pm, it is beautiful.  We are on a site with beach front white sand and water.  We are all there, Roots, Philbricks, Weirs and Murphys; Kathy G and Rob arrive around 7:30.  We dine on Wine and BLT'S for dinner.

6/22 Kayaking first thing - before it got too hot, then a tour of the city of Eufala , visited the chamber of commerce and the Fendell House, the homes are beautiful.  I did a little fishing, no bites.  We all were inundated with ants, I have never seen so many.  We all purchased bug spray.  We had a joint dinner again, steaks and wine .

6/23 Today we decided to go tour the Little Grand Canyon.  We decided to walk the 3&1/2 mile tour-  boy was it hot- it ended up that we only had to hike about 2 miles .

6/24  Sunday   I always hate the pack up day.  Everyone was packing up most of the morning but we did manage to have that great big breakfast,  bacon eggs, potatoes and onions, sausage and fruit.  The Philbricks headed off for Tenn. early, about 10am.  We left our trailer at the site and drove back to Daphne,  I did not want to put off my mammogram for fear something might go wrong if I did not go ahead and get pressed!  We were able to pick up our passports just in case Canada was in our near future.

6/25   Jumped back in the truck and headed for Eufala,  it took us until 3pm to get connected and dumped and on the road to Little Ocmulgee st. pk.  We arrived at 8pm,  Henry was able to get us in a site and connedted in about 10 min, thank goodness.   We were tired and hungry.

6/26  We are staying @ Little Ocmulgee s.p. It is truly beautiful.  Golf course, mini golf, lake splash pad--fountains .  No one is here and looks like rain.  We did our shopping today, Goody's , Fred's, Beall's and Harvey's.  More ant spray.

6/27  Now we are on the way to Hunters Island, St. Park in  South Carolina right on the Atlantic.  The parking site was a real challenge.  I mean a real challenge.  It was a nice little walk to the beach, kids everywhere, a real family place.

6/28  Coffee on the beach and a long walk, it just doesn’t get any better.  A visit to Beaufort, some Historical sites but mostly trying to fix our internet supply.  We had a lovely lunch at Gilligans, shrimp.  Back to the beach. 

6/29  Coffee on the beach again and a long walk to the hunting Island Lighthouse, then pack up.  A real challenge getting out of our site.  On to Myrtle beach.
