What a beautiful day, sunny and warm. After breakfast we head out on a bike ride to the lighthouse by the hard road. We make the turn and decide that we will return to the campground area. We take the trail back which is a challenging mountain bike and hiking trail. Roots, sand traps, up/down hill. Just like the old day's in Essex Vermont. As we remember it was easier back in the early 1990's. Must be the bikes?
After our calorie burner we take the truck and head to the boat launch at the end of the island. We talk with a couple from Maryland for a while. They decide that they don't want to go out since it is windy and very choppy in the bay. We decide to head out and take a estuary that is just off the ramp. We paddle for about 2 hours exploring all the channels that are cut by the tide and storms.
Since we are low on diesel we head off the island to the first station we find that has a sign for diesel. Citgo, damn, $3.859.
Now it is off to the lighthouse and climb the 90 or 100 steps. A new definition of triathlon.
We received a call from our Realtor that our house would be included in a group open house on Saturday so we need to add a couple of days to our trip. We made reservations at Santee SP in South Carloina. We would have like to stayed another day here but the site was not available.

What a bummer, having to extend a vacation...hehe...
Sounds like some good MTB riding, though.
Yeah that is a bummer. The real bummer is the T'storms and tornado's in the forecast. But that is another story which will post later.
The trail was really neat. I had a good time even though it was tiring. Mom was pretty beat when we got back to the camper.
