Collerton State Park to Denmark

Last night I really missed that pillow.  I tossed and turned all night it seemed.  It didn’t help that it was hot too.  We did leave the fly off the tent and that helped.  I finally got up around 6:45 and made some coffee.

We were packed  up and got on the road by 8:00 sharp and rode through a great morning.  The air was cool and it was another lonely road.  We made a short stop for some OJ and little powdered donuts and hit the road again.  By late morning we were taking a break and looking at the map.  We realized we were going through two small towns that were big enough for a hotel.  One was Bamburg where we ate lunch and then rode on to Denmark.  In Denmark we stopped at the Carolina Inn and got a $35.00 room.   Now when you think $35.00 room you have to compare that to a tent site to put it in perspective.  Let’s see. Tent site; dirt floor with leaves and pine needles, bugs, picnic table, hot and rain.  $35.00 room; dirty floor with leaves and pine needles, bugs, but AC, TV and roof.  Not even a contest.  Actually it is clean and not too bad.  It has caused a route change though.

Instead of going to Derher State Park tomorrow we are going to look for another room in Batesburg-Leesville.  The main reason is a weather change has been predicted  with an increase in rain chances tonight an tomorrow.  If we can find a room we will then head to Greenwood State Park for Friday night.  That is the plan, but as you can see it can always change.
