Arrived in Beaufort to visit our good friends from Outdoor Resorts in Melbourne Beach, Dee and Ralph Huylar. They were so gracious to allow us to hook up next to their house.
Tuesday afternoon we visited Hunter Island Campground and Lighthouse. The beaches are beautiful here, and the breeze was heavenly. It is very hot in SC this time of year. I am hot flashing in overtime mode.

We enjoyed Dee's fabulous gourmet cooking every evening for dinner, and watched the wildlife in their backyard. What a fabulous stay. We are so blessed to have friends like this. Thank you Ralph and Dee. |
