Settling in for a rally week

 October 15, 2023

Hilton Head National RV Resort site 3

Bluffton, SC

On the road again..... another travel day....to the SE Rally to join 26 rigs in beautiful surroundings for a week of fun and festivities.  

Momma wasn't overly pleased with Hwy 16 but we have definitely traveled over roads in worse condition this summer.  She sure didn't have any problem napping for part of the trip until we stopped at the rest area.  She went inside the rig and came out to discover another Open Range parked in the slot next to us.

It was Bevely and Steve who were headed to the same rally.

We stopped before we crossed the border into South Carolina so Dad could do the Happy Dance as he pumped diesel fuel into the Ram for the low price of $3.88 a gallon.  Back under $4 once again....but it won't last as South Carolina's fuel has a higher price tag.

The trip was uneventful until the very last turn.  No signage for the road or the park so we kept going thinking maybe the GPS was a bit short.  WRONG  After getting turned around and heading back, we were able to see the sign only visible from this direction.  Strange!!  With everything else so well thought out and immaculate, you would think they would have signage visible from both directions.  Or did we both miss a sign even though we were looking????

Our site in this gated resort is gigantic...huge....long and wide.  It is equivalent to a double width site.  A first for us.

Lots of concrete extending around the fire pit on one side and the pedestal and sewer area on the other side.  

With everything from cable to wifi, a valet escort to your site, a doggie welcome bag and all the extra touches, Momma was surprised when she was informed that we need to tote our own trash to the dumpster.  No site trash pickup here. There is another double gated area that comes with a higher site charge at this resort.  Maybe they have site trash pickup??  You would have to have something else to offer in order to charge more to stay in that 'elite' section.  

There were two poop collection bags in my welcome kit.  I wonder if I can fill them both on the first day?  I have been known to have a two bag walk occasionally.  Come on Dad, let's take a potty break walk and see what transpires.
