The weather has been great so far. 25C during the day and 15C at night. We are staying at Myrtle Beach State Park again this year. The sites around us are virtually empty. We decided today was a good day for a little shopping and geocaching. With both those tasks complete I decided to bake a cake in the dutch oven. It was a complete success!
Its been awhile since I have updated this site, but now that we are on vacation I have had some time to sit and relax and work on some of those things that have dropped by the wayside.
We headed out on Friday morning with our fist stop in Maryland. As always the first night is spent in a hotel. The Holiday Inn in Hagerstown. Nice spot. No dog shows to contend with this year.
We encountered lots of sun on the way the next day. Our next stop was Lanier’s Campground in Holly Ridge North Carolina. Good Sam rated it as a 8.5, while Google rated it a 4.1/5. Well…I think that those scores a quite generous. As a residential trailer park, this site was nice. But the trailers were crammed together. You know the deal, if both you and your neighbor put your arms out your kitchen windows you could shake each others hands easily.
The weekend campsites were the same. Our bed in the trailer was about 3 feet away from our neighbor’s campfire circle. Our cooking area was about 8 feet away from our other neighbors tent. Fortunately we were there for Saturday and Sunday which meant all our neighbors left early Sunday.
Worst part was the bath house. It was not cleaned or replenished once in the 41 hours we were there.
All that said it did have some beautiful views, and the area itself was nice. Monday its off to Myrtle Beach.
Couldn’t wait to get home from work and enjoy the sunshine and warm weather. We quickly decided it was going to be a steak and frites day. (steak and frites….learned that from Master Chef Canada) We prepared everything over the fire. We won’t be able to enjoy this much longer because the bugs are on the horizon…
