We left home on a clear, 19 degree morning.  The usual drive down I-95 was uneventful but a bit slow due to some unidentified traffic delays.  We made two stops at rest areas for Ranger (BRRR) but fortunately we arrived at Santee State Park in South Carolina in somewhat warmer temperatures (mid-50's).  We've stayed here before---it's a good stopping point along the way, around 400 miles from home.                                                                                                                                                                                                     It was warm

enough  to sit outside for a bit as the sun went down, but not for too long.  We headed into the RV for some Brunswick stew and a good book.  Tomorrow night we should be in Florida where it will be considerably warmer.

Ranger was well-entertained by the various ferrel cats around the campground.

Been way too long....

After our trip in July, we ran into a number of obstacles to fall camping trips, including several extended visits to the repair shop.  So here it is, February, and we are finally getting ready to head out on the road again.  As we have done in the past few years, we are heading south to Florida.  After this winter's snowstorms and single-digit temperatures in Virginia, it will be great to get to a place with a bit of warmth!  This week will be one of packing and preparing, on top of the usual work hours----but next week at this time, we will be in Florida!
