Following Our Arrow

Elijah Clark State Park, GA; November 18-22, 2023 Site #51 - BEST! Other preferential sites: 23, 28, 31, 35, 36, 39, 40, 42, 43, 49, (Campground 1: 93, 97, 98, 99*, 114*) Great lakeside site! Geraldine as we just pulled in! Technically, this trip was pre-Thanksgiving, as we went home for Thanksgiving 2023 to spend with my Mom, who we didn’t want to be alone for the holiday.  That said, we *really* needed this getaway and it was the perfect length of time to get nice and relaxed prior to the holiday.  It was just the 4 Spiveys who went on this trip, as Auntie couldn’t find a dog sitter for Zepp.  And we had our trusty dog sitter stay at our house with Sam and Lila, so we didn’t even have canine craziness on this trip! We were excited to get back to Elijah Clark SP, as it is one of our favorites.  Our trip earlier this year, during the summer was fated to not happen, given some strong storms that ripped through the park off the lake in late July.  So it was nice to get here at all in 202

Hunting Island State Park, October 27 - 29, 2023 Site #159 We made the quick trip down toward Beaufort from Charleston early in the morning and pulled into this awesome pull-through site early.  This was the first trip we brought the dogs in a long time, but since we had been here before, we knew where we were going to be able to walk them easily! Set up was a breeze and since we were so close to Halloween, we pulled out our decorations for both the site and for Geraldine! Geraldine’s fancy, scary face.. Skeletons & Spidery Spooks Even Phoebe the Pilot got decorations! Spooky lights on our awning… Once set up, we decided to go exploring and take the dogs out to the beach.  We did a quick walk and found some cool shells and made a plan to head back later with the full moon out.  Unfortunately, when it came time to do that, the girls wanted to stay put, so Auntie hung with them and Steve and I were able to take a walk out and enjoy the beach under the full moon. Auntie, Kaety & S
