The last 2 days were spent reconnecting with a long-time friend who is now living in New Bern, NC. We spent the entire time talking, about everything! She gave us a tour of her sweet Town where she has been been using her communications skills on projects intended to unite the black / white communities.Continue reading “04.05.2025 New Bern, NC to  Kiptopeke State Park”

Not much of interest today. It’s a travel day. Starting our trek back north. Tomorrow we spend two nights in New  Bern, NC visiting a friend. Trying to avoid interstates and Myrtle Beach, Google took us on an ‘interesting’ route. We couldn’t avoid driving through Beaufort and Charleston. I have come to realize that GoogleContinue reading “02.04.2025 back to In the Pines, Bavaria, NC”

Yesterday and today were meant to be resting days, no travel and nothing but long walks and relaxation. Last night we had a severe thunderstorm, again at dinner time. I also had a 7 pm board meeting via zoom but even with the satellite dish reception was really poor. I am only glad that IContinue reading “31.03.2025 and 01.04.2025 Hunting Island State Park”

Today we backtracked to Beaufort, SC, a drive of about 2 1/2 hours. We walked around Beaufort for about an hour or so. We have been here many times visiting friends who used to live here. I have also written about it in a previous blog. Beaufort: https://weegtravel.blog/2022/02/21/day-3-yemassee-sc-to-blythe-island-brunswick-ga/ I am just posting a couple ofContinue reading “30.03.2025 Beaufort, SC”

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”
