June 4 - Hilton Head Island and Bluffton

So the weather was supposed to be "indifferent" not super bad...just indifferent....

 Timing is everything. Much of the areas we enjoyed just 2 weeks ago are under storm watch...experiencing the start of hurricane season with torrential rain and flash floods...

So today off to Hilton Head Island to check things out. Only about an hours drive from our campsite. Love the old mossy oak trees joining their branches to make a tunnel over the roadway...


Lots of intercoastal waterways and narrow zig-zagging arms of water going every which way....


Well....the first area we went to was into Sea Pines ...but found out the most odd rule... you cannot enter the area with a trailer, boat trailer, utility trailer or a kayak or floatation device on your vehicle......so it was over before it began as we have the kayaks on the truck...

So we decided this was not the island for us as all the other areas are resort hotel after resort hotel, almost no parking and had not even seen a glimpse of a beach. 

So we saw the little town on the way in, Bluffton, that looked very interesting.

It seemed really small at first but there were great little parks, streets and streets of little boutique stores and galleries...



This big beautiful oak tree had the most amazing swing that I just could not pass by...






So cute!

Then the bridge back to Savannah for another visit....




Love the Plant Riverside District so decided to go back.  Had a bite to eat and some fluid and enjoyed watching all the activity on the water..




Then the rain came so figured it was time to go back home...home to the RV...


Sometimes you can see the most unusual people along the way... this gas station was one of those places...10 minutes waiting for George to get fuel was ....rather interesting......panhandlers...near miss accidents....and this guy...he was the near miss accident guy...I did lock the doors just in case....

Left South Dakota this morning, through a part of Wyoming and into Montana. The scenery in this area is really gorgeous.  But before long the weather changed...storms up ahead and apparently through the night in Bozeman. Free night at the Walmart with about another 30  or so RV/camper vans......hoping for a quiet night...cold here tonight....used the furnace for the first time in a very long time on this trip...brrrr

Long time coming....

Image
 It's been a very very long 2 years waiting...patiently waiting.....for things to return to normal... We were set to embark on this same holiday in March 2020 when Covid changed everything for everyone. Now 2 years later, our travel furbaby has changed. We lost our beloved Gracie before we could enjoy another big trip with her.  She was an amazing traveller and we were so fortunate to have been able to make many memories with her over the 14 years of RV adventures! We loved every minute of it and miss her dearly. And then along came Lucy Lu. Oh the adventures she will have!

June 10 - Lazy day

Image
Today was a lazy day. As no cell service and wifi at the campground, I needed some down time to book some stuff. Found a great dog park and Lu made a new little friend... Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...
