Wednesday 7th December – Into South Carolina

I didn’t like the idea of having stayed in High Falls park and not explored some of the trails.  I got up early to enjoy a walk and found the 2.5 mile ‘tranquillity trail’...





Our secluded spot in the forest....
.... which lived up to its name as I didn’t see another soul during my walk.  You can see from this picture (above) the peaceful campsite we resided in whilst in the park. The rains of the past few days appeared to have moved on.
I returned to wake Simon up and hit the road, we had a long day of driving ahead of us to make our next booking in South Carolina, about 5 hours in total.  By the end of the day we would be back on the East coast of the USA!

 As soon as we entered South Carolina (our 23rd State) the landscape dramatically changed to marsh/swamp and the after effects of Hurricane Matthew was clearly visible – there were trees down everywhere!  Lots of palm trees and water.  As we drove between Savannah and our stop for the night, just South of Charleston, we crossed one wildlife refuge after another along massive expanses of water.  The wildlife on the East coast was going to be incredible....




The drive was not as lengthy as feared and we even stopped off when we saw this sign:

An amazing store full of independent home-made produce but imagine our disappointment when all of their cider turned out to be non-alcoholic! Shame….














We arrived at Lake Aire RV park about 430pm giving me enough time to do my orientation walk of the site to get my bearings, including circumnavigating this lovely fishing lake:
