The last
couple of days we were at Hardeeville RV Park there was some tree clearing
going on across the way from our site.
When the view opened up we could see this charming little tiny house. If we had stayed longer I think I would have
worked up the nerve to walk across the field to see if I could find out more
about it.
We’ve noticed a beautiful absence of billboards along the Georgia and South Carolina highways. One thing we did notice here along I-17 though are the utility wires hanging from poles rather than being underground. We think that the water table here must be too high to encourage them being underground.
One other thing we notice an absence of is litter. However, there are signs posted that say fines can be up to $1,000 or up to $1,200 for littering. I’m thinking it isn’t nearly that high back in Indiana, but I don’t really remember. Whatever it is they are doing it is working. I noticed another sign that said “$200 fine and 30 days in jail” for speeding. That still doesn’t seem to deter a lot of people. As we are usually moving about 5 mph under the speed limit it’s not a worry for us, but that 30 days in jail possibility would certainly make me think twice about whether or not I was in a hurry.
Since we had
seen all we had planned in the Savannah area and it was triple digit hot we
made the decision to move closer to Charleston and try to get in a little
sightseeing there before we made our way on up to the Washington D.C. area.
We’ve been
here two days and what we have seen is RAIN and more RAIN. Downtown Charleston was experiencing flooding
yesterday. The Charleston Airport is
reporting 3.8” of rain, the record was just over 2 inches. Right now we couldn’t leave here if we wanted
to. The stone drives in the campground
have received so much rain that we would get stuck if we tried to move. We haven’t unloaded the motorcycle which is a
good thing. More rain is expected
tomorrow and there is a chance of rain every day for the next week.
We are going
to need some serious drying days in order for us to be able to move so a few of
those triple digit hot days we just escaped would be good. Fortunately, we have everything we need and
we are perfectly safe. So we are
prepared to wait it out a few days and then move on. I think our plans to visit Charleston may
have to wait until next year when we will be back in this area again. Hopefully, it is more hospitable the next
time.
Nice blog post.
