We have decided to stay put today rather than packing everything up to go exploring. It is vacation after all. We can find enough to do here for a day. Consequently, we have been very lazy this morning. It makes a huge difference when you can get outside early enough for coffee, followed by aContinue reading “29.03.2025 Santee State Park”

We are moving camp today and will visit a local.plantation on our way out this morning. I hadn’t realized the full extent of the history of James Island where we were camped.  The McLeod Plantation we are visiting is unusual in that it depicts the life of the slaves and freed slaves, their culture andContinue reading “28.03.2025 James Island to Santee, SC”

Another day in camp without driving anywhere. These days are giving us time for a more normal daily routine. For me, that’s coffee first followed by breakfast whenever I want it rather than coffee and breakfast at the same time. Today, we are taking it as clean-up day. We have been out for 6 days.Continue reading “27.03.2025 James Island County Park”

Bird sightings: Cardinal, brown Pelicans, red winged blackbirds, crows, ravens, Carolina wren. After breakfast and a long walk, we packed up and headed to Charleston, SC. We decided to visit the city on our way through it rather than coming back to it from our campsite tonight. The traffic was extremely heavy with a lotContinue reading “26.03.2025 Charleston, SC”

We are not moving camp or even driving anywhere today. As a result, we had a later than usual breakfast outside once it warmed up a little. Today we will explore this beautiful state park on foot. In addition to the beach, it has trails through the preserve areas and it’s own castle. See below.Continue reading “25.03.2025 Hungton Beach State Park”

The mornings are starting to get slightly warmer but not yet warm enough for breakfast outside. We did enjoy a second coffee outside after our morning walk. Breakfast this morning consisted of the egg bites I baked yesterday, home made cinnamon rolls and a shared banana. And what were we rewarded with this morning? AContinue reading “24.03.2025 To Huntington Beach State Park via Myrtle Beach”

It was a little warmer this morning but still not warm enough to enjoy breakfast outside. As usual, I did some baking for the trip: small loaves of white and wholewheat bread, chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls (no icing), brownies. A few weeks ago I made bagels ( first time ever!) And had a coupleContinue reading “23.03.2025 Southport, Nc”

It was reasonably chilly overnight and I forgot to put the extra quilt on the bed when I made it up. Tonight I won’t forget. I misspoke when I said yesterday we haven’t done anything new in the van this year. We did. We replaced our old stove top expresso coffee maker with an electricContinue reading “03.22.2025 Kiptopeke State Park to Southport, NC”

It’s that time again. Time to get the Roadtrek on the road again and head south to find spring. It’s been a cold winter and spring is late in our neck of the woods. Normally we have Hellibores blooming in February but the dry fall and the cold winter delayed their blooms. They only pokedContinue reading “03.21.2025 The DelMarVa Penninsula”
