We got rousted out of Walmart at 4:30 this AM. Note: don’t ever park in a Walmart on Thanksgiving night, black Friday comes at midnight! Of course we are having alternator troubles and can’t run with headlights, so we parked at the gas station for awhile and then venture down I81 and stopped at the welcome center in WV (maybe a better place to sleep).

Took I66 from I81 to 495 outside Washington. A very interesting experience. Did you know you cannot make an RV smaller? There were a couple of times it would have come in handy. Now hopefully a nice leisurely drive to Myrtle Beach (about 6 hours).

I had my first krispy kreme doughnut at the Wilson gas stop. Alas, it was not hot, but still very good. I can see a bad habit forming if I find them hot!

We made it to Myrtle Beach last night and are cozy in our 19 x 51 ft campsite. (boy, are we spoiled at CB!). We can't put out our awning because it would be over our fire pit, which has the picnic table on top of it. The flight path for the airport is right above us. We are however about 200 yards from the beach and we had to run our a/c last night. After we figure out how to get out of heRE (all the sights are back in, but wrong way with the road) we are going to our new home. Sam is happy to be back in the woods, but is still trying to figure out the ocean. Riley of course just goes with the flow.
