We left Savannah Oaks in sunshine, and made the 120 miles successfully (before thunder and rain!) and were set up and relaxing before our phones began ringing with weather-call alerts regarding lightening strikes within a 6 mile radius...! It finally did rain, but not a lot. Most of the storms were where we had been...! Another lucky break for us in our journeys!!! 


James Island County Park is very nice. Roads are paved, however the sites are gravel/dirt, but are large. Trees prevent satellite reception, but the antenna is working nicely! We goofed when we made reservations as the phone number is listed incorrectly in the Road Trip Navigator 2012. By the time I figured it out, we could only get 4 nights here. It is a Good Sam Park, but has the feel of a very nice state park! We shall return!


There is much to see and do here in Charleston! Fort Sumter is a must: we have tickets for the tour tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM. Also on our list are: The Old Slave Mart and The Charleston Tea Plantation...there are many more; we just have to come back!


Bike trails abound around James Island County Park, and we can ride from our site. We will unload the bikes and chariot today, and weather permitting, squeeze in time to explore those trails!
