day 14

Rolling Hills park is even prettier in the day light. We found a place to go swim, I am sad I didn't bring my camera,the shore was mostly sandy but there were sand cliffs between the land and the little beach, it was unique and picturesque. The lake was just cool enough to be refershing, the footing was sand and we didn't see another person. Really sad we are only staying one day. Though not so sad about leaving the ticks behind. Laura pulled over 30 deer ticks off me, and a few off Darien. They were soooo itty bitty and hadn't been attached long but still eewwwwwww. I guess I and Darien will be getting blood drawn when we get home. Laura had no ticks, seems they must have been on the tent and I had been the main tent taker downer today. Darien helped a little and ended up with little tick infestation. Pulled two ticks off Kat (the big ones with the long legs..) but the other dogs seem fine.

NC is gorgeous and the first place that doesn't look like home.

Drove south to Raleigh and found a Walmart. Bought a phone for cheap and some time, so now I have a phone again. Called breeders and got samples. Hooray!! Tomorrow we are off to TN.

  1. wow you are really seeing the ticks! We did that trip with Ian to the Smokey Mtns and back up and didn't see any. It was very hot that week as well and we were amazed at the empty campsites but the word was, "it was too hot to camp". Hope Tenn is cooler for you. Car and trailer still no prob? How is the money holding out?

    How much texting can you do from this cheap phone? Call me using you payphone card if you find one. . .might at a service picnic spot on the freeway.

    We are fine. . .sold our old trailer in 24 hours and bought a new one last night.
