Colleton State Park - Walterboro, SC

 In the fall, I got an e-mail that our reservation at Hunting Island was not going to happen.  Hurricane Irma tossed everything and then Hurricane Maria washed it all away.  So pick a place...any place as long as it’s still in South Carolina.  I picked site 9 at Colleton State Park...pig in a poke, as they say.  Oh yeah, South Carolina is one of those, “ya gotta reserve 2 nights minimum.”  The plan was to get there on day two but the trip from Lumberton was so short that we got there for lunch.  As we are pulling into this gorgeous site sitting high over the Edisto River (the longest black water river in the world...I have no idea what I’m talking about....just what I learned from Prof Google.). The camp host comes charging over...seems everyone is trying to take the spot but it’s reserved, and has been for a day.  I apologize for being a little late and blamed the weather.  This is a tiny little park that is along the 63 mile canoe and kayak route.  Nice place to overnight if you don’t want to pull your canoe up on a sandbar and sleep with the alligators, we didn’t want to.  A ways up the river (that’s almost South Carolina speak) they got overnight accommodations in treehouses, over the water.  If alligators can’t climb, we might check them out sometime (I will first check with Prof Google about the alligators).

We finally got the bugs off the RV from the fall, Deb washed the windows and we are ready for a week in warmer Florida.
