Up at 7:00, out by 8:20, uneventful drive to Poinsett State Park near Paxville, SC. The only problem we had was that we had planned on dumping the RV at the Flying J in Georgia along I-95 (RVers know that Flying J is one of the few places that has a separate island for RVs to get gas and a dump where you can empty your tanks, usually for free). Not this time! Dump was locked, with a sign that said that now at this franchise, there was an $8 charge. Frankly, I'm not sure we could have used it anyway, they had build up a curb around it that raised it so high that anything lower to the ground than a motor home would have a hard time using it (gravity works, water doesn't flow up!) When we asked about it, the girl gave us some lame story about the county forcing them to charge a fee and to build the curb. If that's true, someone should point out the laws of physics to them. Not sure that would work, though, it seems so many politicians and bureacrats have mastered the art of ignoring the obvious.
Beautiful clear day, arrived just after 3:00. Went to the dump there, which was along quite a narrow road. Someone was already on it (two hunters that, I'm sorry, didn't look like they had a clue what they were doing.) Settled back into the equestrian campground, which was still empty despite the warmer weather, and looked forward to a nice ride tomorrow!
