Coming up next week, we’ll be headed to Edisto Beach State Park. We’ll be staying at the Live Oak Campground for this trip. I’ll keep this post updated as we explore.

We stayed at the Live Oak campground, which is one of two campgrounds in the state park. The other is closer to the beech. The Live Oak Campground site about a mile from the ocean.

Getting in there, the roads are very tight, with trees and other vegetation very close to the roads, with also had a few very sharp turns. We did not have an issue with our 30′ rig. Just be aware that if you arrive with a bigger outfit, be careful driving.

Campsite was fairly nice, but also very tight, with thick vegetation all around. Miles of very nice bike/ebike trails to explore. We didn’t bring our bikes for this trip, so we walked instead.

Very quiet place, with the occasional sounds of cars coming down 174.

I’ll give this campground 4 stars due to the very tight roads within the campground, and also tight campsites.

New EDC blade

The Spyderco Shaman.

This is an outstanding blade, a river rock in the hand, a lightsaber on the cutting board, and a dream in the pocket for its size and intended purpose. This is an outstanding version of an excellent blade and a strong candidate for the “One Ring” knife thought experiment.

Perfect EDC. Big, but still perfect, for me anyway.

This is a great state park with a medium size campground. Got us a site right on the water. This is a very nice and quiet place.

The roads around the campground are all dirt road, and was pretty tight and curvy getting the RV in there. The sites are dirt as well. Most of them have water and electric. There is a dump station on the way out.

We really liked it here. Very quiet.

Boone KOA Oct. 1 – Oct. 5

Decided to head up to the NC mountains. Destination Boone KOA. Eventless trip up along 421. No issues.

The Boone KOA is a very busy campground. Unfortunately, the sites are small for a decent size rig, and they are packed together like sardines. Had to get creative to get the rig back out on Sunday.

Don’t think we will be headed up there again anytime soon. There are other campgrounds in the Boone area that are better choices than this.
