Today we start the trek home. It’s another gorgeous morning with coffee and breakfast outside. A leisurely pack up was followed by our usual morning walk albeit shorter and earlier. We also needed to get gas… it’s $3.99 per gallon here this morning. I understand from talking to friends at home yesterday that it’s overContinue reading “Day 17 – Blythe Island, GA to South of the Border, SC”

We were able to sleep last night with the back doors. It was lovely wo wake up to the birds. It’s a beautiful morning and the rabbits are running around. Yes. We are back at the rabbit campground. This is our last day before we head home tomorrow. We are staying in camp to enjoyContinue reading “Day 16 – Blythe Island”

We don’t have far to travel today as we are just heading back to Blythe Island Regional Park for the weekend. We have a nice routine now on yearly days… leisurely coffee and breakfast, shower if we need to, pack up everything and then go for a nice long   walk. Today’s walk took us toContinue reading “Day 15 – Jekyll Island to Blythe Island, Ga”

After a couple of warm days the weather had turned cooler again. Today was windy and a little misty at times. Another lazy start to the day and a long walk before packing up and leaving. Again we don’t have far to go. It’s Friday and the most difficult days to reserve campsite are overContinue reading “Day 14 – Fort McAllister to Jekyll Island”

We only have a 2 hour drive today and we are enjoying a relaxful morning with coffee and breakfast outside again. We haven’t been able to do this since Okefenokee. Last night was cool once the sun went down and the gnats drove us inside anyway. This morning the Thermocell seems to be keeping themContinue reading “Day 13 – St. Mary’s to Savannah, Fort McAllister State Park”

We had to get up early for the 9 am ferry to Cumberland Island. The only access is by ferry and it is walk on only. We packed food and water for the day. St Marys is the gateway to Cumberland Island, Georgia’s largest and southernmost barrier island. Here pristine maritime forests, undeveloped beaches andContinue reading “Day 12 – Cumberland Island”

Woke to a beautiful but much cooler morning. I was unable to log into a scheduled board meeting due to lack of network and adequate wifi. Trying to find somewhere to go with services for 2 1/2 hours was logistically possible. It always seems that networks disappear once inside state parks. After a leisurely strollContinue reading “Day 11 – St. Mary’s”

Cloudy and misty today and quite a bit cooler. Suspecting damp weather, we packed up all the outdoor gear last night as we move to a new location today. Brian had an early morning zoom meeting and needed to go down to the ranger station to get wifi. We have no network service at all.Continue reading “Day 10 – Okefenokee Swamp to St. Mary’s, GA”

Another beautiful morning. Being able to drink our morning coffee outside is definitely spoiling us. That and being able to stay out until bedtime! Did a little cleanup of the van, which we have decided to give a name to. We are calling it Impulse as we bought it on impulse. The nearest anything isContinue reading “Day 8/9 – Okefenokee Swamp, Stephen C. Foster State Park”

After a leisurely pickup, we headed to a nearby Walmart to buy shorts and Tshirts before heading to our next destination. The weather is much warmer, actually hot, than we had anticipated. After leaving our campsite, we only drove through 2 small towns and the northeast corner of Florida before arriving at our destination inContinue reading “Day 7 – Blythe Island. GA to Stephen C.
