Doing the Charleston…
Today we traveled 85 miles north to just south of Charleston, SC to the Lake Aire RV Park.
Unfortunately, it is more lake than aire. The site was half underwater when we got here. And then it rained more.
Here’s what we have out our front door.
Our Waterfront RV Site
We have to wade to the truck to go sightseeing.
I hope we don’t have trouble getting out of here. We’re on a grass site with no gravel or concrete.
Last year we stayed for a week at a fairgrounds in Sioux Fall, SD. It was dry when we got there, but then it poured down rain for the last two days.
What was nice hard grass and dirt became a soggy mudhole by the time we were ready to leave.
We finally had to be wenched out by a very large tow truck. Hopefully that won’t happen this time.
After getting set up and settling in, we headed out for supper. After checking out restaurants in the area, we decided to try Sticky Fingers BBQ.
They’re a small chain of about 15 restaurants located mainly in the Southeast. And they do have very good BBQ.
We liked the ribs better than Wiley’s the other day, mainly because of the different cut. Wiley’s ribs are a much thicker cut, while Sticky Fingers are thinner and crispier/crunchier like I like to cook.
Sticky’s pulled pork was not as good as Wiley’s.
Wiley’s BBQ beans were much better, but I like Sticky’s potato salad better.
And Wiley’s Bread Pudding with Pecan Praline Bourbon sauce was pretty much a toss-up with Sticky’s Homemade Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream.
All in all it was a great meal.
Tomorrow we’re going to do some tours and other sightseeing. Hopefully the rain will hold off.
Later…
