Savannah, GA to Wilmington, NC

Today wound up being an uneventful driving day through the low country of South Carolina.  I had intended to visit Brookgreen Gardens on the Grand Strand and to take the ferry from Southport to Fort Fisher, but both were dropped--the gardens because the driving was slow and I was running behind time, and the ferry because I arrived too late.  So much for planning the perfect trip on paper.

I did have a late lunch at the Sea Captain's House on Myrtle Beach.  The place is a great place to eat and has been for a long time.  But more important is that Julie worked there as a waitress during summer breaks while in college.  This isn't a nostalgia trip, but making the connection was easy and I did need to eat.  I had crab salad and peach cobbler.  Say "beach".  Say "South".

Tonight is my second night of camping and my first to make supper (a can of soup) on my one-burner cook top.
