Paradise found

 Wednesday May 10, 2023 We’re still at Hunting Island State Park on the southern coast of South Carolina. I hesitate to post our location; this is one of the last unspoiled beaches available to the common man….or woman…….or theythemitwtf? Paradise  Hunting Island has a campground, a day use beach, several forest hiking trails and a historic lighthouse. There is no beach town type area, no T-Shirt/Beach towel shops, no arcades or anything like that. Maybe that’s why it is not overrun with people. In the surrounding area, you will find a few scattered restaurants. At least half of them are small grills catering to the locals more than tourists. A lot of the scenes from the Forest Gump movie where filmed around here. The Vietnam War scenes were filmed right here in the state park.

I had mapped the locations of all the thrift stores in the area
