RV-Dreams - Carolina Clan,    Day 3 - Part 1

I woke up about 6am—looked over at Nancy and she was still asleep?!?!  That never happens!!  I guess the 2 glasses of wine she had last night did her in ;-) 

As I put my shorts and sneakers on, got my IPod ready, I realized Nancy wasn’t moving very quickly to get ready.  I asked, “Are you walking this morning?” She promptly replied, “You had ice cream last night and I didn’t.  You need to walk and I don’t… Bye, Bye ;o))” 

I guess that is a NO!!

When I finished my walk, Nancy had a surprise breakfast for me – PANCAKES!!

Usually we have a bowl of cereal with soy milk,

a banana and a glass of juice. 

So this was a treat :-)

It was a beautiful morning to sit outside and eat our breakfast.

We just love the shoe drying pole at our campsite ;o))

Sometimes you see the funniest things!!

Hard to paddle a canoe when you face each other ;-)

After enjoying our morning outside, it was time to get ready for another hike.  About 10am, Gail, Laura, Bruce, Nancy and I decided to hike out the campground road to the old boy scout camp.

Instead of going directly to the campground road,

 we took this short cut through the woods to the road. 

Gail wasn’t real thrilled with this decision ;o(( 

But she was a great sport and very happy

we didn’t see any little creatures along the way ;o))

It was a gorgeous morning as we headed down the road!!

We saw some deer tracks but never saw any wildlife.

We reached the scout camp and found this huge

fire pit and benches.

 

Not sure what was so funny!?!? However, I have learned by now that with Carolina Clan, laughing is done for no reason at all :o)))))))

 

After a little “laughing” break, we continued on and passed some of the old cabins.

Earlier this morning, we had heard a lot of gun shots. 

About 2 miles into our hike, we ran into British Soldiers, in full uniform, who were training their dogs.

Perhaps we have found the source of the gun shots??

We had a short conversation with them. They told us they have been “in the states” for a week and would be staying for three more weeks.

We asked how they liked it here and they told us it was HOT!! 

They were use to rainy, cold London.

When they asked us not to step on any buried devices on the road,

we took it as our queue to turn around and

head back to the campground.

It was another nice hike!!

On the way back to the campground, Laura was laughing with me about their “backwards” kayak trip.  She said that Paul had been really kidding her about it and she wanted to get even with him.  What better way to get even than to reverse Paul and Jill’s kayak seats. 

Oh, but Laura would NEVER do anything like that!! 

Hmmm…. this is Laura,

but I don’t think that is her boat ;o))

Well, we are all going kayaking tonight,

so time will tell!!
