I love the sound of little bird feet on top of the trailer. It always sounds like the tiny creatures are having so much fun. I’ve had the pleasure of spotting so many kinds of birds on this trip. I could see why so many bird watching enthusiasts existed. The morning was spent downsizing and organizing the trailer. It seemed that the vehicle was in a constant state of disarray despite our best efforts. After Crystal gave our sinks a thorough scrubbing, they shined brilliantly. The final matter was to dump all excess weight and we could hit the road. We were thankful for the opportunity because the heat from prior days cooked the waste and left a scent less than desirable.

We pulled out and said good-bye to Sandy our wonderful host...

The weather was cool and I was ready to run. The road to South Carolina was surrounded by forest. I would enter the state via the Savannah Wildlife Refuge. Shrubs and bushes joined the tall savannah grass. Again I witnessed the change in my geography. Even the grass morphed under my feet. As I crossed a metal drawbridge with no shoulder a beastly semi-truck rattled the structure. I looked down and saw a strong flowing current. My steps were swift but cautious. A few minutes after crossing the bridge, I found myself at another one. This time the other side held the promise of a new state.

The camera clicked as I captured the moment. I was in South Carolina. I felt warm despite the dreary weather. For a while, the area available for running was but a sliver...

Scrambled eggs with veggies and toasted croissants filled the trailer with a buttery scent. We took the time to enjoy our last breakfast then we helped my mom pack her items. The airport was a minute away from where we parked. The airport had only a few airline terminals and a small lobby. I hugged my mom and walked with her until the security check. We were sad to see her go.

After escorting my mom to the departure terminal, Crystal and I began to make our way back to the spot we left off. There were festivities in the city and a parade for St. Patrick’s Day but after all the thirty mile day, we both just wanted to rest and relax. We rented a couple videos from a redbox and stayed in the trailer vegging out...
