Camping at Lowden State Park. There are NO MOSQUITOS here! We can actually sit out by our fire and enjoy it! This is HEAVEN!

First stop was in Tennessee and we did whitewater rafting but it wasn't very challenging. But since I had never done it and we had Carli with, it was a good thing it was easy! Very hot and humid down here in Southern Carolina! Also RAINY! First night setting up (Friday) we set up in a downpour, But Saturday and Sunday were pretty good during the morning and afternoon. Some rain both evenings--but that's ok if it rains at night! Went to Bulls Island which is a natural wildlife environment. It was like Jurassic Park! Saw alligators, lizards, crabs, birds, and swam on the beach on the Atlantic Ocean side. It was pretty warm water, too. Then we took a boat ride out to a lighthouse the next day and saw dolphins jumping all around us. Grandson Quenten had off naval studies and duties from the 4th thru Sunday night, so he got to stay in Desi's camper all weekend. He has to be back on base by midnight tonight (Sunday) He brought his girlfriend, Sarah, out for dinner on Friday and then back again Sunday afternoon to swim and hang out. She seems like a very nice gal. Carli is having a great time, too.    |

Sorry you are dealing with so much rain. But, it sounds like a blast anyway! Glad Quenten had the 4th weekend off.

Rafting was not too rough for us with Carli. Desi and Colten took the rougher rafting trip and they said Carli could even have handled that. Desi's family have been on some pretty white watery rides in the past, so this was pretty calm and a bit disappointing for them.
Monday was a day to do laundry and swim at the camp pool. So we rested up for today. We are going to see the Firefly Distillery which makes whiskey and vodka.

Went to Patriots Point and toured the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier from WWII. Quenten will be on something similar except the newer nuclear version. We went on a special tour of what would be his area on the ship. We also toured other parts of it too

Of course, on our way to the Indiana KOA, we blew tire! It was only 1 year old! Luckily, we were just before a ramp off the interstate so we could pull in and change it in a better place than the highway! Now at the campsite, we can't find a place that has another tire to replace it. I guess we keep our fingers crossed and pray!
When we go south for the winter, we are going to need to buy 20 cases of Old Style beer cuz no places down south have it!

There is a desk area for me and my laptop where I can play LOTRO from. I was logging in and getting today's update loaded.   |

It is a wide body so about 5inches wider than the old one. I like the lack of carpet in the living and kitchen.
So far happy with it. There are a few things we dont care for, but mostly happy with it.

Ah, truly a home on wheels! Plenty of space -- waiting for Rohirric themed decorations, and a display of all the LOTRO trophies you have gathered, including the "Storm Over Weathertop," the very first LOTRO furnishing Holdo ever got. Think my characters each have that same painting, must have about 20 of them by now...
Lots of windows, lots of outdoor light, really very nice!

Our campsite had a Halloween party last night with a costume contest. I like to watch this show when I remember to catch it! He shows all the old black and white horror films and does silly skits for the commercial breaks and also tells about the actors and actresses who appear in whichever show he is showing that night. www.svengoolie.com/I went as Svengoolie last night and everyone liked me and I had some fooled into thinking I was a man under the disguise! I won first place for the ladies costume!    |
