I stayed up late last night doing some last minute laundry at the hotel. I figure I may not get the chance again for a while. Today, it's back to the wild - no, really. I found a beautiful State Park called, Dreher Island State Recreation Area. It is what a camp ground should look like. Not stuck behind a 7-Eleven in a tent. This place is far away from any city life and surrounded by a really beautiful lake; Lake Murray. This was an amazing day. After viewing all of the available campsites, I had my heart set on T7, a waterfront site with a majestic view. Even though there were a couple of boats parked on my waterfront, I just had to have it. While setting up camp, we met the owners of one of those boats, Andrew and Drew, who were also on a father-son camping expedition. We hit it off right away and they invited us out on their pontoon boat. What an awesome time we had seeing the Murry Lake Dam and getting a tour of Bombing Island, were the Doolittle Raiders Practiced during WWII. We ended up back at the campsite for a cook out. I provided the hot dogs and stove, while Andrew brought turkey burgers and beer. After chow, we headed back out on the water to do some cat fishing. Even though we didn't catch any thing we enjoyed a beautiful evening on the water. Ok, so we get back the the base camp, light a fire then Andrew took us out on the off-road golf cart to tour the island. We spotted many deer and the kids had a blast. It was nice to come back to a nice fire and unwind for the rest of the evening. Thank you, Andrew and Drew. That was the greatest time.
