Day 18 - Still in Soggy Charleston

October 19, 2019

It has rained all day again. Sometimes light, sometimes moderate, but always raining. The mud puddles in the campground were about dried up, but they are overflowing again.

Kathy did a couple of loads of laundry this morning. They have gargantuan washers and dryers, industrial strength. She said they hold about twice what her washer at home will hold, and it has a large capacity.

We went out for lunch to another highly rated place, not fancy but highly rated. People here must have far different tastes than me. (Actually I think its the "emperor's new clothes" syndrome. The food isn't that good but enough high brow people have praised it so rather than admit that the food isn't good you praise it.) The place's crab cakes were raved about. Kathy ordered one and said it was okay. The only things on the menu that even appealed to me were the roast pork and gravy or a hamburger (apparently the only way to get beef here is in the ground form). The roast pork was okay, probably even good if you are a pork roast lover. My mashed potatoes (mashed with the skins on) were good, as was the corn bread.

We stopped and topped off the fuel tank on the way back.That was our adventures for the day. I sat outside, under our awning, and read for awhile, and then took a nap. By the time my nap was over there was to much standing water to set outside. We may need a tug boat to get us  out in the morning 😄.

The spot we are in right now doesn't have a sewer connection so we will need to dump our waste tanks on our way out in the morning.Then the plan is to head for the Asheville, NC area and spend the next couple of nights there. If we find it to be interesting we will stay a 3rd night. As a side note, the 1st two campgrounds we called there were full up. We have never had this much trouble finding available sites at campgrounds, especially during the week. Maybe it is the great economy, more people have enough money to travel.

God is good. May He bless you and yours.
