It has been a long time since our last posting. Family circumstances kept us in Houston for the past 8 months with a few exceptions. Brian made two trips to Johnstown, Pennsylvania and we did manage a few weekend getaways close to home.

Early May (the last weekend that was cool enough to camp) - Big Thicket National Preserve
We live just two hours away from this location and have driven past its various sections over the years and finally stopped at the Visitor Center.
Now for our travels since leaving home on June 4 with the intent of being "on the road" for four months.
Dublin, Georgia - we happened upon this site while geocaching.
We had plans to ferry over to Cumberland Island from St. Mary's Georgia but the weather was iffy. We will save it for another trip. (Because of rain, we have spent more nights in motels than campgrounds so far in the first week.) We did get to visit two other national park service sites along the Georgia coast - Fort Frederica and Fort Pulaski.
You can hardly see the tree for all the Spanish moss on it.

Sally port - Fort Pulaski near Savannah
The weather finally improved so that we could camp a few nights at Modoc Campground on a bluff above J. Strom Thurmond Lake (South Carolina side). Here is a sunset picture taken from our campsite last night:
We made a hike in Sumter National Forest to find "Modoc Stash" - the oldest geocache in South Carolina.
Also seen while geocaching:
"The Littlest Church in America" - South Newport, Georgia
The fastest-moving turtle we have ever seen was "speeding" across a cemetery. We wondered what was making it move so quickly!
