Got up this morning and spent a bit of time exploring Santee SP for a bit. It is a beautiful Park. The girls seemed to enjoy the break. They have a few stray cats wandering around the Park. Staff told us that some people who no longer want their pets drop them off at the Park and speed away leaving the poor things behind. Occasionally the SPCA is called in to collect them and take them away. One can only imagine.

After fueling up we were finally on the road by 10:00am. Not a good time if you expect to get far, which we did not. Stopped for lunch at the Cracker Barrel in North Carolina. Did about 500 kilometres today coming in to land at Emporia, just inside the Virginia State line along the I95. Staying the night at Yogi Bear's just off I95. Going to try to get at it early in the morning to attempt to beat the storm that is heading in our intended path along the Virginia mountains. We could be stuck there for a couple of days. It does not look good.
