FINAL SOUTHERN TRIP POST

It was a great joy to visit our friends Tom and Janice in the beautiful state of North Carolina.

We mostly tried to travel the secondary routes and stay at State or National Parks. These parks have great natural settings, good facilities and great staff. Most of the navigation was by way of a Garmin GPS unit but be sure to have a back-up map. This became quite evident when Garmin took us on a late night ride into the forest in a rain storm that was washing out the dirt road as we backed out with darkness approaching. Thought it was our unit but other travellers had similar stories and the need for good maps. Cities would have been very difficult to navigate so don't leave home without one. Resting after a day spent "shelling".Randy, Kellie, Chris and Shell at Botany Bay.
Dottie, Chris and I enjoyed her sleep over.
Waterfront Restaurant on Edisto Island.
My favorite-flounder, grilled shrimp and scallops with hush puppies and sweet potatoes fries.
With two chefs on board, the meals were great and the champagne flowed!

Sign us up for next year.
