Day Planner

HERE WILL I SLEEP TOMORROW? 

I decided I would go to the coast area and do some birding and hopefully some camping, but that part may be in a Walmart parking lot! We shall see, with all our parks on Reservation system anymore it's impossible to get a site....and they want $50 So there is a place where it's FCFS but will there be any available spots? I figure I can try...

But mostly I just want to go down and enjoy some leisurely birding, my son is gonna feed the dogs so I don't have to haul them down with me, GOOD because it's going to be 75 tomorrow.

IF I go to the FCFS place first I can bird then stay there overnight and then head north to the next stop on Thursday after I eat breakfast...and then head back home for Thursday night...so I think that will be my plan...AND If I don't get a spot there is a Walmart Superstore in Georgetown, Home Depot, Crackle Barrell, some Lowes, Camping World, all allow over night parking in their lots, I've used Walmart many times in the past on my cross country trips...I generally go to a day use area park, make my food stay till closing time and head out after dark, park and go to sleep.  

It doesn't bother me to not know where I will sleep tomorrow, because I know I will sleep and be safe in my van. 

If I get a spot...I will walk up to the birding areas it's not far in Santee Coastal Reserve, or I have a small tent I could pitch to save my spot IF I get a spot...so we'll see first I gotta get UP and drive 126 miles. So I've already packed the van gassed it up and all I have to do is toss in my overnight bag in the morning and turn the key! OH and I gotta eat breakfast.

I don't think it's gonna be too cold but I have my sleeping bag and a quilt...Maybe I will toss in a  My WOOL blanket JIC. 

So Im excited, this is my first overnight trip in such a long time...I really want to get back into camping BUT since the world went crazy everyone is camping; people who have never camped in their life are now camping and buying big rigs,..it's kinda insane.   I just don't agree with "bringing everything including the kitchen sink." and call that camping.  Its not.  What they have done is pushed the true "camper" out into the woods literally.  Public Lands are not very prevalent here in SC.  We depend on Parks, and Recreation Areas for camping, not it's all big rig friendly and the prices is outrageous. 

I won't rant about that anyways today was nice, I did some early birding, then I came home and made another one of the cages Im building to protect my fruit trees from the deer.  So Now I've got 2 finished,  but I need more of those free pallets to continue...4 pallets made 2 cages, almost I had to add some wood I had in my "stack" ...Next week maybe. 

So you probably won't get a post from me the next couple days...I will catch up when Im back home. 

TTFN.
