49 miles from Rhems, SC to Joint Base Charleston Short Stay
Outdoor Recreation Area, Moncks Corner, SC.
We couldn’t find a campground for about 100 miles which was further than
we wanted to bicycle. Bob was able to
book a site at a fabulous Navy Recreation Area.
We had him drop us off about 50 miles away and started our trip. We first passed through the small town of
Andrews which is the home of Chubby Checker.
A long-time resident of the city, Bobby Barrineau, stopped and told us
all about the history of the area. He
was quite a character. Then we rode
through the Francis Marion National Forest, home of Swamp Fox. I wasn’t familiar with him, but Donna used to
watch the Disney show that was based on his escapades and adventures. He is known as the father of American
guerrilla warfare The forest was
beautiful, smelled like fresh pine, and had very little traffic. Our camp is on Moultrie Lake and is magnificent. We are headed toward Charleston
tomorrow. We’ll bicycle part of the way
in, then drive with Bob, into the RV campground at Charleston Naval Weapon
Station.
