Kinston NC (Neuseway Campground) to Charleston, SC (James Island Campground)
2/5/22: Stopped in Georgetown, SC and parked just outside of town (the truck and trailer barely fit down the small streets) and walked about a mile into town with the dogs. It's a very small and quaint southern town on the coast where we had lunch at a place (Aunny's) that had one woman cooking in the kitchen and another one waiting tables. It was filled with locals and when we tied the dogs up outside and walked in, one of the guys eating near the window said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them." Lunch was delicious fried chicken, collards, corn bread and red rice.
Arrived at James Island and got settled. The campground is located halfway between Folly Beach and downtown Charleston. Very convenient location and they even have a shuttle into Charleston which I would have considered taking had I known how tough and expensive it is to park.
Dinner at Bowens Island which reminded us of Woodman's in Essex, Mass. The restaurant was down a dirt road, no frills, order at the counter, grab a seat and the waitress comes out of the kitchen with your meal, yelling your name. Great oysters, shrimp and grits, and hush puppies - all delicious. We shared a table with an older woman who announced that she was born and bred in SC and gave us the history of the restaurant.
So, I guess it seems like all we are doing is eating out. Kind of true and a little ironic since we are traveling with our own kitchen. But, who can resist all of this quintessential southern food? There is nothing like corn bread and hush puppies in the south.
