I started my day out on the beach watching the sun come up. While it wasn't the most glorious sunrise I have ever seen, it was pretty enough. I strolled down to the portion of the beach littered with driftwood before coming back to shower and visit.
We spent our first full day here out and about on the islands . . . Hunting Island, St. Helena Island, and Lady Island. I started my day out on the beach watching the sun come up. While it wasn't the most glorious sunrise I have ever seen, it was pretty enough. I strolled down to the portion of the beach littered with driftwood before coming back to shower and visit. The morning portion of my day was filled with delivering Coastal Caravan happies and strolling around the campground visiting with my peeps. For lunch, Becky and I drove up to the Shrimp Shack to dine with Rich and Sue, Bob and Susan. We all got shrimp salad and it was divine! We had some key lime pie too. Our next destination was Fort Freemont, a remnant of the 1898 Spanish-American War fortifications on St. Helena Island. Just up the road about six miles was the Penn Center, an African school from the mid 1900's that helped preserve the Gullah culture of the island. We toured the museum, watched a SC ETV movie, and later drove across the street to see the Brick Church that was built by slaves. Bec and I made a run up to Publix to restock some groceries for the rest of the week before heading back to Hunting Island. On the way back, I had her turn into Gay Fish Company in hopes of finding a cooler that was a bit more efficient than the old one we have. Talk about camping karma striking in a big way...the young fellow working there was selling his Yeti 45 for an incredibly low price and I didn't even hesitate in buying it! After supper this evening at the Luke Compound, we'll head over to the nightly campfire at Crystal's to wrap up our day hopping around the islands. Talk to you tomorrow!!

Nice snag on the cooler! I wouldn't have hesitated either; karma is a good thing. Thanks for the postings and the work you have to do to keep them coming -- we're reading and enjoying.

Hi Heather...Hunting Island grew on me as the days passed. We were told to avoid the last two weeks of October and the first two weeks of November in terms of those buzzing/biting critters. I will remember that!! So glad you enjoyed your daily Postcard!!
