Today dawned with a little drizzle and some wind gusts leftover from Sandy. We left Clayton at 11:23 A.M. for our journey to Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet, SC. The traffic was fairly light, and we saw large numbers of power company trucks northbound. Our journey was somewhat complicated by the frequent high wind gusts, especially in open areas, so it was not a relaxing drive for Hank as he kept Little House in the proper lane. The winds eased up some by the time we entered northern South Carolina and we arrived at the park around 4 P.M.
This campground is nice, although most of the sites do not have sewer hookups, and there's only 30 amp electric service. The beach is a short walk away, and the roar of the breaking waves was easy to hear tonight. I expect the ocean is still churning from Sandy's visit. Our site is conveniently located near one of the bath houses. Luckily, Little House has fairly large grey and black tanks, so we should be able to cope without making a trip to the dump station before we leave here on November 8.
About half of the 45 expected attendees for the Carolina Clan of the RV-Dreamers gathering are here. It will be a challenge to remember which names go with which faces, and to match up the couples, but this is a fun group and everyone has stories to share. We enjoyed the ever-expanding conversation circle until the cold night air and pending darkness motivated everyone to return to their RVs for the night. Many of these people are avid cyclists, kayakers or hikers, but I'm sure our most strenuous activity will be walking.
