December 14-18
We have now entered a completely different ecological zone and are experiencing a heat wave to boot (day time temps in the mid-70s and low 80s, quite unusual for
December) ! Our first palm trees, cacti and various sub-tropical plants and...alligators. Definitely no bears!
The campground backs onto a beautiful beach and the campsites are within a minute's walk of toes in the sand. There are walking trails and boardwalks overlooking and penetrating marshes where we were able to see quite a bit of wildlife, including different types of heron (Great Blue, tricolour), snowy egrets, ibis, turtles and ...alligators who have come out of their usual December torpor to sun themselves.
At first I thought you found our favorite SC state park -- Hunting Island SP ... but nope, this is an equally beautiful one.
