Apr 11, Monday another very hot day to Tuesday, Apr 12th, Bluffton, South Carolina…

It was just a 99 mile drive to South Carolina today in perfect driving weather north on Hwy 95. We are in Stoney Crest Plantation Campgrounds in Bluffton just outside of Hilton Head Island.
Last night was kind of a first; as we were sitting outside a couple of beggars approached us willing to do any job for food money.  We resisted and they went away.  About 5 minutes later a truck and trailer pulled into the space beside us and the beggars were all over this couple with offers to help him set up.  So the poor sole gave in and the next thing the beggar had his grandfather, his wife and kids plus the in-laws all over for a visit and drinks!  We just couldn’t believe our eyes and soon they were all into the booze and we packed up everything and headed indoors.
Unfortunately, I woke with a very sore throat - laryngitis, runny nose and cough, so I have not had a good day and can’t believe it’s my second cold in a month!
Monday evening was very warm with a great breeze, and overnight we had a thunderstorm and lots of rain.  That really helped to bring the temperature down from the 90’s to the 70’s and Tuesday was far more pleasant.  We took a drive to Hilton Head and have found the motorhome storage and our check-in locations so that is comforting.
Not sure what’s up for tomorrow.
