We woke up to a very
chilly morning. We had to pack up quickly and head out before the
gate closed for the season. No hot shower for us I am afraid. We
drove to Seneca, South Carolina to buy our Trasharoo. We got great
customer service from a nice young man named Jeff at Southeast
Overland. He was very helpful and had incredible knowledge of camping
gear. We parked in a church parking lot to attach our storage bag to
the spare tire, and loaded it with some of our excess gear from the
jeep. We must have looked a bit odd because a local resident stopped
to ask if we needed help but I think he was actually checking up on
us. Finally we set the GPS for Florida and we are on our way. Once
again we didn't quite make it to Florida and spent the night in the
truck at Oconee River campground in Georgia. Sleeping in the truck
is not as simple as it sounds. We have so much gear piled on the
sleeping platform (including a 100 watt solar panel that charges our battery which runs our freezer.) it takes about 15 minutes of juggling to move things into
the front seats. Then it is time to maneuver in through the side door
while making sure our dirty shoes do not touch the sheet. At 5 feet 1
this is a challenge for me but it is downright comedic watching
Francis do it. After all that, it was another chilly night.
