There's our Coach, "Daisy".



This is our view when you stand at the back of our Coach and look toward the Ocean, which is right past those trees. That lawn is where you walk the dogs, so that's nearby also...great lot.



Our Coach is right past the silver car on the right side.



Fenced in Dog Playground on the right, bldg at the end is the Laundry facility.







The RV Park



Beach across the street.



This is the view from our park, of the Road (Rt. 98) and the patch of land on the other side, the beach and the Gulf.

Angry Beach

We started our walk with gray skies, and an angry Gulf, but by the time we were thru with our 3 miles, we had some blue sky.



Today, Tucker tried to cut the birds off at the chase...he had no luck, but I give him credit for trying!


These are Lorraine's two dogs. Tucker is looking out to sea...scheming.

Beaches and Scooters

Today, I took a walk with my next door RV neighbor. Her two dogs, and my Tucker and we headed across the street to the beach and the ocean. She told me that she found out yesterday, that as long as no one is sunbathing, it was ok to unleash your dog. And we did. Tucker was running like he never ran before. Soft sand was much easier than running thru the woods of New Hampshire...but the challenge of getting a bird was the same. Just different birds. Sandpipers. Sections of the beach had sand bars, you can go out 75 yards, and the water is only 5 inches deep. My new friend and I also saw Dolphins, 5 of them, about 25 yards off the beach. They were very close. We walked for 3 miles.

After I returned, Jim and I went into Carrabelle for lunch. A place I had seen on TripAdvisor. And it was correct. This restaurant was absolutely wonderful. Here is the link to the place:

I had the Groper and Jim had the Shrimp. After that we drove around for about an hour. We headed out of Town and back again. We went to another RV Park a couple miles down the road, called the Ho Hum RV Park. It was right on the ocean, as opposed to across the street. But it was a dirt/gravel park with nothing else. We don't think we would stay there.
We went last night to a 'Wine Tasting". You had to bring a bottle of wine and an appetizer. We met quite a few people. We stayed longer then everyone, and had to shut the lights down when we left.

Tonight we have a Tornado watch, at 10 pm. Hmmmm......

S. Carolina: New Green Acres RV Park

New Green Acres RV Park 396 Campground Road, Walterboro, SC 29488 Phone #: (843) 538-3450



We have gone about 7 hours today. We're in Walterboro, S. Carolina.
We like the park. Very dog friendly. A very large fenced in area, full of "props" for the dogs, ex,ramps, hoops, and hanging from a branch was a wire basket full of green tennis balls (Tuckers favorite)....a hose provides fresh water in a large container. A receptacle for their waste stands nearby for your convenience. Nicely treed and wide lots.
Grilled Tuna Melts, a shower in their facility, and homemade chocolate chip cookies round out the night. I boiled some water and washed the dishes, and wiped down the counters. That is the first time I have been able to do that. Back home, I had to wear gloves just to stock the compartments, it was so cold....tomorrow we will arrive at our campsite for the next two weeks. We will finally open all four slides and settle in. We will leave here at 7 am, and it's another 7 hours to Carrabelle Beach RV Resort.
