Greetings from Hunting Island State Park . . . buggy Hunting Island. We have been lucky in so many respects on this Coastal Caravan. One such area has been the lack of flying, biting critters thus far. But here on the island, they are a menace!
My Verizon MiFi does not work here, so I will be sitting in the car each evening outside the office borrowing a signal to be able to send you a Postcard. The lengths I go to for my readers...LOL.
We pulled out of James Island Country Park this morning around 10:30, but promptly stopped around the lake to stage and snap some caravan photos. Nine of us parked along side the road and we drew a crowd of onlookers from the lake while there!

Once we cleared the traffic of Charleston and got out on Highway 17 South, we had smooth sailing. While going through Beaufort, we got stopped while the bridge was letting some boats through. Of course I hopped out to capture another caravan shot.
Becky and I shot right past the turn into the campground, so we had to go down the road a ways to get turned around. Instead of being first in line to check in, we were the cow's tail. But guess what? That just gave me a chance for another photo os T@Bs in a line.
The volunteers working the check in were definitely on island time. As we waited our turn sitting with the windows rolled down, we experienced our first encounter with the bugs. We got Splash settled into site 96 in record time despite swatting and slapping no-seeums constantly!
Lucy is a couple sites down and Daisy is across the street. The rest of my beach peeps are scattered all over the campground.
The path to the beach is just out back and is a short walk away. Sandy had already claimed her spot with a good book.
Several of us drove to the Foolish Frog for supper and despite being kinda pricey, it was quite good. I was able to take a few photos of the sunset from the deck before the bugs carried me off.
I have no idea what the plans are for tomorrow, but I will be back here sitting in the car at the office tomorrow evening to give you the full report. See ya then!
