Lowcountry, South Carolina

Tonight's missive comes to you from Mt Pleasant just outside of Charleston, SC. This is my first posting from my own wi-fi set up in Rosievan. I've mastered several of the intricacies which had caused me worry - filling the fresh water tanks, emptying black and grey water tanks and squeezing under an 11 foot overpass without incident.

It's about 4pm on a Wednesday and the beer is cold. The fresh shrimp for dinner, that I bought at the Lemon Island Seafood pull-off, are just beginning to boil.

Today I meandered north through the low country of South Carolina. Winding along the salt marshes and under the Spanish moss. I spent a couple hours in Beaufort, SC with its many views of the water and the civil war.

I stopped in a camping shop called "High Ground", by my GPS it was 8ft above sea level. I guess that counts for higher ground around here.

Pat Conroy was quoted on the wall of the Port Royal Sound museum (https://portroyalsoundfoundation.org/) I visited today:

"I could feel myself relax and change whenever I returned to the lowcountry and saw the vast green expanses of marsh, feminine as lace, delicate as calligraphy."

On a sunny and warm, blue-sky-day like this, I can understand and agree with his sentiment.
