Oh and due to local ordinances, no campfires allowed. just trying to prepare ya. you might be better off renting a pup from someone local.

We're staying at Huntington State Park for six nights and Myrtle Beach State Park for 3 nights. One day on the way down open and one day on the way back I hope to hit Gettysburg.
I appreciate the heads up on bugs (hate 'em) so this is how we are preparing as best as possible:
1. Screen house in addition to tent for table/kitchen stuff.
2. Treating clothing and gear with Permethin.
3. Taking lots of 40% Deet spray and ant and wasp spray.
4. Taking 3 fans to help keep bugs away also.
5. Booked sites with minimal flora/plants/brush.
6. Stern positive thinking and mental preparedness.
Thanks for the warnings, helped me get prepared. Eight days till we leave!
