I got out late in the day for a walk. Looks like the Humanists and Free thinkers adopted this beach. I found this sign warning about copperheads on the trails and in the campground. They hide in the leaves. For your safety wear closed toe shoes and use a flashlight at night. Copperheads only strike when threatened which is why it is important to not step on them. It has photos showing that if you wear closed toe shoes they strike and get the shoe, but if you wear flip flops they bite your foot. Flipflops and copperheads do not mix. . . Fortunately for us it is winter and it is too cold out for cold blooded reptiles. There were some light clouds tonight, so we got sunset colors. I love the color the sunset turns the ocean.
Sunset looking south. Today we are parked at the Cummins shop plugged in. Tomorrow we will get maintenance done on the generator. It needs the normal stuff but it has been having trouble starting sometimes, so they will check that too. We are parked next to a garbage truck!
Across the street at Floyd's consignment are all these animals. The town of Loris is so small it is listed as one the things to see and do in town. Will have to check it out tomorrow. I finished my basket. It is `11 x 1 3/4 inches. It has a piece of glass in the center that I made with aspens and a deer behind the aspens.
Floyd's was a wash. The best stuff were the animals up front. Mostly used furniture, china figures and junk. But it kept me busy for awhile looking around. The people working on the bus are southern, they talk and move very slowly. We may be here for awhile. They unbolted and took the generator out of the bus. They had to use a fork lift because it is so big and heavy. They need to work on the back and this is the only way they can get to it. Newer coaches have it in a sliding shelf so it can just be pulled out. I found this shell on the beach on the outer banks. I am going to make some kind of basket with it.
We had clouds, but this was it for sunset. Most of the day was cloudy and in the 60's. The parts ordering system is down at the Cummins, so they can't order the part they need to fix the generator. We are here for another night. This bus pulled in today. It says Miles For Smiles and Little River Medical Center. I think it may be a mobile dental clinic, the kids on the side have toothbrushes.
Today the parts system came up and they ordered our parts which should be in tomorrow and they can put the generator together and back into the bus. It was in the 70's and sunny. I sat in my lawn chair and worked on my new masterpiece. We are here another night. The sunset was very dazzling tonight. The shell piece so far, not sure where it is going.
The generator is done and back in the bus. They finished late in the day and it is raining hard so we are just staying another night rather than drive in the dark in the rain. Three days and 4 nights at Cummins. At least the parking spot with power is free.
We are now camped at Sesquicentennial State Park in Columbia, South Carolina. It is so nice to be out of that parking lot at Cummins. High 60's and sunny. We went for a little hike around Lake.
Huge oak trees and the outlet for the lake. The CCC built the dam and the park in the 30's.
Fall colors.
Long leaf pine needles as far as the eye can see. Last light on a red oak tree in our campsite.
Progress on the masterpiece. On the way here we saw the sign for the Booty Bros Boots. Fall colors. Hanging seeds and the pine needles fall from the trees in the canopy onto the understory, they look like Xmas icicles we used to hang on our xmas tree.
