March 2014

We left home mid- afternoon Thursday, March 20.  Spent the night at an rv park in Fayetteville, NC, close to the airport.  It was pretty full of long termers.  It was very quite.  A great overnight place, on sandy dirt streets at the end of a sandy lane.

Friday and Saturday, March 21 and 22, we stayed just southwest of  Charleston in a Charleston county Park: James Island.  It had the best Dog Park I can imagine.  At least 4 acreswith  ( probably more) with a dedicated pond area, a dog wash and water station( but no other water stations, probably by design), picnic tables and benches.  While we were there on a Friday evening, dog's had fun and there was plenty of room.  It had a separate small dog area, but some small dogs came in wiIh the big dogs.  I picked up a lot of poop and didn't see any designated volunteers or staff, but we loved the park.  Paved trails were great.  Not well-marked from the trailside, however.  Campground was pretty good.  Our site backed up to a pond.  but we were beside s local scout group or something and the kids were loud and they showed a ovie with a screen on the open door of their van and we seemed to be in a direct line for their sound, although we were behind their van through a bit of woods.
