Day 2 - Brunswick, Georgia to Winnsboro, SC

June 13^th, Thursday

State Park Campsites are NOT for everyone.  But Norm and I can
pretend we are in a large, warm ( or cool ) dry tent!

Today was just a day of travel. It was another extremely hot day as we drove about 4 ½ hours and arrived at Wateree State Park in Brunswick, Georgia.  Now these are the type of sites we prefer!  Very wooded and pretty secluded. Norman expertly backed in the very narrow site, missing all the trees! What a nice way to start the trip! It was mid-week so the huge lake it sat on was very quiet, but I understand that on weekends, it is crazy out there with all the high powered motorboats.  Needless to say,we LOVE campgrounds during the week!

Campground Manager AND Electrician?
I sure hope he turned off the power......

 We have a very sophisticated voltage surge protector that we plug into the electrical outlet on all campgrounds in case there is a problem that could cause great damage to our home on wheels. Well, today it detected a problem.  We called the office and a very clever state park manager came and found that the ground was faulty. He completely rewired the post, and we were finally able to turn the AC on. Thank goodness!  He was very impressed with our device, and said it probably saved us from some serious damage. He said he would not have found the problem had we not had it.  Yeah!  It was so nice to hear, because it is one of those things that you spend hundreds of dollars on and might wonder if it was worth it.  I guess this time, it was.

We had dinner, and played Rummikub during a pretty significant thunderstorm. Oh, it so nice staying dry!  The weather alert radio kept going off, but we didn't know what county we were in, so we need to add that to our list of questions during check in during this crazy and dangerous weather.
