Despite the tight driveway in our campsite at Elijah we had no trouble getting out. It took time to get ready; I had used all but one piece of the cribbing I carry to level the trailer there, so deconstructing that and packing it was time consuming.
We took 4.5 hours to come here, it was a bit longer than maps had indicated. That’s normal, the truck’s GPS is programmed for the camper and takes different routes than a map app. And we choose less interstate highway.
We got in at 2:30, got the camper settled and found out there was no electric power in the park. A work crew was excavating and cut the power cable! There was a big crew here working on repairs.
I went back out for propane. The park people told me to go to Tractor Supply because it was cheaper. I found TS in the GPS and headed out. The GPS was still in trailer mode and it took me on a 30 mile route to the nearest TS. They don’t have propane! Great. But they told me about a vegetable stand that did, and a TS customer gave me detailed directions, saying she once lived on that street. I found it, nice produce market with a propane tank! And the GPS took me back to camp at only 18 miles.
By 6 the power was back on. There is barely any cell signal here so it’s good to have power to run the Starlink!
Dakota Joe and Pat arrived at 4, we had supper together and talked of traveling and camping.
This park is on the Edisto River, we camped at Edisto Beach State Park a couple times on the earlier trips, out by the mouth of this river.
