Charleston AFB



USS Yorktown

Thursday we headed over to Patriots Point to tour The USS Yorktown.  I never climbed up and down so many ladder/steps in one day, an air craft carrier is rather large.   It was very educational walking around with Brad, I got a lot of stories about the ship and how it compared to the ships he was on.  The USS Laffey was there, but you really couldn't get through too much of it and then there was a little Vietnam Memorial that we also walked around.

We got done there and headed home for dinner.  We both called it an early night.

Friday May 4



A lazy day planned after Wednesday and Thurday, so what do we do.....a 4-5 mile bike ride.  Back to the RV for breakfast, shower and we are off again.  We are looking for the 2 other military campgrounds in the area.  The first is 'Foster Creek', an older park that looks as if there are more full timers than part timers.  There is a 'river', swampy, but fishable according to Brad .

Tent Site

We left there....now off to 'Short Stay Navy Rec.' OK, beautiful campground, just the kind of place we are looking for. Right on Lake Moultrie, boats to rent, fishing docks and mostly shaded sites.....



RV Site

Oh no, something is missing.....no sewer.  Now what do we do, I guess we need to learn how to camp with no sewer hook-up.  It seems from the peole that we have talked to, that seems to be a norm for full-timers. 



OK heading home.....hey there's a Camping World, so we pull in, about an hour and $20.00 later, we head out, this time to home.  Ham steak for dinner....no lemon juice, ok we settled on hot dogs...off to the store tomorrow...Ham Steak tomorrow for dinner.
