Greetings from... Florida? Yep... Home in Vero Beach.
How'd that happen? Just last night I was sharing impressions of North Carolina from our landing spot in South Carolina. Well, as we set out this morning for our trip to Hunting Island State Park near Hilton Head we left early to allow time to explore Charleston (a city that neither Mrs. C' nor I have ever visited). Within an hour we had seen a couple of sweet little resorty towns between Myrtle Beach and Charleston and a paper mill and... a steel mill?.. yep the Arcelor Mittal Georgetown, SC wire mill which we learned unfortunately stopped production just a month ago. We took time to check in on things back home. About that time we ran into heavy rain from the low pressure system which is sitting off the southeast coast and has been threatening to become a tropical depression for the past few days. It is forecast to move right along our path. So, with the combination of thoughts about the responsibilities we have been shirking in Vero Beach for the past three weeks and the prospect of a rainy tour of Charleston, two nights of rainy camping and two days of rainy driving we decided to skip Charleston and head to I95 South. We outran the rain by mid afternoon and got home at 9:00. We backed the rig into its spot in the driveway and called it a day.
A note on shirking responsibility... I highly recommend it for a few weeks at a time as age closes in. We enjoyed the new places we visited and especially the old friends and family we got to visit.
A special thanks to Mr. I in Vero who cared for the dog we left behind and looked after the house so we could get away for this trip!
I'll try to write a wrap up tomorrow night. Until then...
SC'
