Elijah Clark, & Augusta GA

 Threat of thunderstorms in the forecast suggested that this would be a good day for some utility kind of tasks.  The laundry was piling up and we needed to pick up some Rx at Walgreens in Augusta.  So that’s how we spent most of the day.  I’s a 40 minute drive to Augusta and the GPS said it was a one minute difference whether to go vis GA or SC, so we went SC.  It was basically the same route we took yesterday but just went farther.  

Augusta is a fair sized city of just over 200,000.  A bit bigger than VT.  It’s the seat of Richmond County.  That’s about all it has in common with home!  Luckily we only had to go into the fringe of the city, really only into Evans, GA, a suburb.  We found the pharmacy easily and they actually had our Rxs.  We had a run around with them in Fredericksburg TX, they told each of us it was too early for a refill.  And they lost the refills coded into my Rx.   I know I had 6 refills when I left home.

Then to the laundromat a couple miles away.  While Carlene did that I found another grocery store a couple miles away for things we forgot last time.  Still not completely successful, still haven’t found y favorite Schweppes tonic.

On the way back to camp we stopped at the same roadside beach in Modoc so Skye could get a swim.  It was also lunch break at 2 PM!  This spot has a good shale deposit on the beach.  Nothing like a small slab of shale for skipping stones.  Skye had a great time with those!  I have not been having any luck loading video on this blog recently, not sure why.  But it worked tonight!  That’s all the photos we took today.

Back at camp Skye needed a long walk to dry off.  And another walk at sunset.  Maybe one more before bed, but that’ll be a short one.
