Camping and traveling in these new times is certainly different! Going to the grocery store, doing laundry and getting gas are all fraught with peril. We are very careful with sanitizing and distancing but certainly enjoy our time in campgrounds by ourselves much more. It is much easier to practice social distancing while hiking and geocaching!

We have been in South Carolina for the past week. First in Edisto Beach on the ocean and now at a campground mid-state on a large lake. There had been a lot of rain this spring so trails are still pretty flooded causing us to find ways around or get wet feet!

Lots of boardwalks over swamps this year

I've seen better bridges!

Edisto Beach-pretty deserted

Enjoying the wind and waves, Edisto Beach

Our current campground is mid-state on a large lake and was pretty deserted when we got here but is now filled up for the weekend by many people who obviously do not believe any of the warnings since they are gathering in large groups to eat, party and make campfires. Looks like fun but not very wise!

We, on the other hand, went for a hike/geocache walk and walked much further than intended, nearly 10 miles. Other than my knees, we felt surprisingly okay except we wished we would have taken more snacks and drinks since the temperature got up to 84 and we were gone nearly 5 hours!

When we had the place to ourselves

Once the crowds arrived, we spent our time on the trails which we had all to ourselves. Never saw another person while on the trails!

We continue our slow journey home, staying to ourselves as best we can and sanitizing well when we must interact with the public. We have already had two changes to our itinerary due to closures and hope there aren't many more. If there are no additional closures we should be home in less than 3 weeks. And, due to Denny's excellent preparation, we have enough RV toilet paper for the rest of the trip. I'm not sure there will be any when we get home, though!
