Wednesday was another hot sunny day in South Carolina. We spent some of the afternoon back at the shop checking on the a/c in the van. There seems to be something that turns on the heat which overpowers the cooling and blows warm air. It could be a vacuum problem or an electrical problem. They could not determine which. I guess I will have to take it to the dealer and bite the bullet for the high labor costs.
Later In the evening we went down to Charleston to S&S Cafeteria for some very good food and very pleasant atmosphere.
Thursday we worked some with the van a/c and have lost all vacuum to the controls and they went to default , defrost, only and so we quit at that point and will have to let the pros handle it. We went to the grocery and then to McDonalds to get on their wi-fi and send and receive our e-mails. Service is quite spotty in this area of the low country, I call it a swamp, but they refer to it as “low country”. We have not seen any Alligators, but I understand they are around. Just as soon not see any while I am out and about, along the road would be acceptable. I know they are faster me, even in my power chair.
Friday we plan to clean and treat the roof on the motor home and then on Saturday, we will have a cook out and then go to the Navy Short Stay facility to watch the fireworks. Sunday, we will be back on the road headed north toward cooler weather, we hope. It sure is hot and muggy down here.
It is now Friday and we did get the roof cleaned and treated. We also did some other things in preparation for the cook out on Saturday. We learned Saturday morning that the fire works at Short Stay was on Friday night, so we missed them, but they had fireworks in the little town of Bonneau, SC where we were staying and I must say, they were quite nice, about 30 minutes long with lots going on. The crowd seemed to enjoy it, however there was no finale, they just stopped shooting them off. A bit disappointing, but that is the way it was. By the way, the cook out was quite nice with lots of good things to eat, chicken from the grille as well as some burgers and all the other good things that go with a cook out.
Sunday, we got things put away and left Bonneau about 10am. We traveled south on US 52 and picked up 17A and then US78 to US278 and picked up I20 toward Atlanta, GA. We are currently in Stone Mountain, GA in the campground which is quite interesting. We are parked in a pull thru very close to the lake. The campground is pretty well full, even after those that were here for the weekend left. It was quite late when we got here, but we do not have to check out until noon, so we will do some scouting around and take some photos of what we see.
Sorry to have been so tardy with the blog but we just have not had service in the “low country” so they call the swamps of SC.
