First let me apologies for taking so long to get this posted. I managed to get some extra time off from work so we could go camping for 4 days. However, that means playing catchup with life when we get back. Bill managed to get the blog written, but I am just getting the time to get it posted. He wrote just one blog covering 4 days, but I have decided to use my editorial discretion and just post one day at a time. So here goes and hope you enjoy! May take a few days to get it all posted :o)
Nancy and I left Thursday to spend a long weekend at Cheraw State Park camping with our good friends, Bill and Chris. The park is really nice. There is the campground, a boat launch, a beautiful lake, hiking trails, boardwalk and even a gem of a golf course!

Bill and Chris had purchased a Mercedes Diesel Sprinter Van which was converted to a Class B RV last January and this trip was their first camping trip.
Note from Nancy.......It is 8pm Wednesday night. I don't think this blog is supposed to get posted. I just was notified that the image upload will be disabled for maintenance for a couple of hours...SHEEESH!!! Time for bed, can't wait any longer.
5 am Thursday morning....
Alrighty....photo upload seems to working "somewhat" :o)

We both arrived mid afternoon on Thursday and got our campsites setup.
Our Campsites
Cheraw State Park is quite large, but the campground is small and very quiet. There are only 16 sites and one belongs to the camp host.

There are 5 or 6 sites directly on the waterfront, but all the sites have a view of the beautiful lake.

Once we got settled in, we took a walk around the lake to the bridge over the dam.

We then continue to walk around the lake to the park office.

After a simple dinner, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset and then built a campfire.
Bill told us this was the first time he had ever sat around a campfire. I think you can tell he was enjoying the experience.

We talked about our plans for the weekend which included hiking, geocaching, kayaking, golfing, sightseeing, fishing and campfires. We somehow squeezed it all in while we enjoyed each others company.

It is almost 7am, 2 hours since I started to put the rest of today's post together. Blogger has been a nightmare. Uploading photos has been very difficult. I had to upload one at a time and then I had to log off in-between each attempt. Lots of other little issue with spacing and just things getting moved around on the post. Is anyone else using blogger having some of the same problems or is it just this user??? At this rate, I will never get the rest of our weekend posted :o(
