Modoc Campground, Lake Strom Thurmond, South Carolina
We took a little "we" time today.
This is our third time at Lake Strom Thurmond and one of our favorite places to camp. Knowing we had a five hour drive to get here we pulled out of North Carolina early.
Fortunately, we had the Comey testimony to keep us entertained. It made the drive go by really fast.
Here's Ned munching on popcorn as we listened - apropos for the congressional hearing.
As if the all the political stuff wasn't enough drama, while driving down the highway a truck pulling a trailer (adjacent to us) had a blow-out. He lost his re-tread which caused the fender to fly off and into Winnie.
It just missed our windshield, landing on our hood. We're fine, Winnie is fine, but it sure woke us up. We stopped and the guys with the wacko truck came to check on us. I think they were as shook up as we were. We shook hands, glad everyone was okay. and off we went.
Finally here by early afternoon.
First thing was to get set-up in the perfect campsite on the water...check.
Next, ride bike to nearest store a couple of miles down the road and obtain ice...check.
Create the perfect Moscow Mules...check
Ah, soak time with Moscow Mule in hand...Check!!
Mission Accomplished.
We hung in the water for hours...and hours. Hot day, warm water, place to ourselves, pretty dang awesome.
Ned...hello out there...you good?!
After a fun day in the sun, tonight is all about getting ready for Costa Rica tomorrow. Fortunately, the campground has laundry facilities (thank you US Corp of Engineers). I wish doing laundry at home was this much fun. Bike ride, change laundry, bike ride, fold laundry, bike ride...
Best camping buddy ever...Just love this guy.
