Winter in Florida 2014

This is the sixth season that we have travelled to Florida and it is especially nice to be going there this year as NY has been TOO cold.  We even had a few nights of minus numbers...which I've never seen.





Most years when we travel down we stop at Santee State Park in South Carolina to add water to our tanks and to resanitize our fresh water tank.  When we leave NY it is usually too cold to carry water, lest it freeze.






Santee is a park of convenience and at $21.17 it is an inexpensive stop.  Since our departure date is never set in stone because of weather issues, Santee has thus far been able to accommodate us without a reservation even on weekends.  If they happened to be full, we could always pay the day use fee, tank up with some water and continue on to a rest area, Walmart, or welcome center.



This year we arrived in rain and scored a nice "waterfront" site that overlooked the Santee River.  With the clouds hanging over the water this year and the ducks taking flight, that made for a scenic view.  Our cell phone service seemed to be in and out but for one night it is not a big issue.  It is about 5ish miles from route 95 into the campground.  It is also very quiet but sometimes the duck hunters are out pretty early....
