Our last night on the road: Sesquicentennial State Park, just east of Columbia, SC. We have learned that the SC State parks are really nice: pretty, well-planned for people who want to be outside, and usually around interesting natural features. We've been hauling firewood for 7 weeks. Most of the private campgrounds we've stayed in have not allowed campfires, so tonight we'll burn the last 3 pieces of wood we brought from home. The moon is almost full, the sky is clear,and it's cold again. The last night we'll have to worry about our water source freezing!
There is another Big Winter Storm moving this way, and luckily, we arrive home in the late afternoon the day before it gets here. By spending the last night four hours from home, it lets us get home early enough to turn the water and heat on in the house, and get the Cottage unloaded in the day light. It's warm today!!
It's January 28, 2010, and we had a remarkable journey of over 5,000 miles. We saw things and experienced things that will stay with me forever. But for now, I'm glad to be home!
