We arrived yesterday after an easy 112 or so mile trip from Hunting Island. After we had made the reservations for here we thought perhaps we should have stayed at Hunting Island if we could have moved to another site. Maybe next time.
We had picked site 39 in Cypress View campground because that was all that showed available for our size. What a good choice. Most sites in this figure 8 campground are very nice however a few are to small for the 30U or are not very level. Since we had to add a day or two to our trip we decided to add an extra day here. However we have to move to another site. Site 12 is a back in with a nice lake view. It should be real nice with the big windows in the rear of the 30U. The only bad thing is the possibility of thunderstorms. Rats.
This morning it was 46 an rainy when we go up. So we decided to hit the local Country Bucket, aka Cracker Barrel, for breakfast. We then did some shopping but were disappointed that many of the stores in the Santee Outlet Mall were EMPTY. However we were able to find some new sneakers to buy and help the local economy.
We watched a DVD, "Good Night and Good Luck", in the afternoon. Wow what an exciting day. It never got above about 56 and was just plain cold and nasty out.
For supper we decided to eat at "Lone Star Barbecue and Mercantile", where we had eaten 3 years ago. Cool place, Good Southern Eats. If you are in the area give them the business.
More storms are in the forecast so we may not be able to enjoy much of the park. There is a 6 or 7 mile mountain bike trail I would like to try as well as do a little paddling on the lake or nearby feeder streams. Since we didn't bring much of a video library we may only have "Bullet" and "The Worlds Fastest Indain" to choose from. Both are good.
We do plan to have dinner at Lone Star. Tomorrow is BBQ Ribs night.
Next stop will be one of the campgrounds on Jordan Lake near Raleigh NC.
