Went for another early-ish bike ride 7.5 miles, packed up camp and headed up to find Carolina Beach State Park. To our dismay, we found out it was actually just behind the CVS we'd biked to the day before. We went on a 3.1 mile hike through the park to see Sugarloaf Sand-dune and the beach. It was getting hot and humid, and I couldn't feel the breeze at the park like I could just 6 miles away further south. I was glad when that hike was over and we could get in the air conditioned car! The highlight of the day was taking the ferry boat (with our car) across the river. It was so cool!! We stopped at Waccamaw State Park on our drive home. It's a big lake with some trails along it. We took a short walk out to a look-out point to see the lillypads & swampy things, but the heat & humidity got the best of me and we didn't venture on any of the trails. Whimped out. Nice to sleep in my own bed again!
