Still at Sloway....with a God moment story!

We're still at Sloway, until Monday.  Then off to Idaho.  Our experiences with solar power have shown us that we use more than we make, so a few lifestyle adjustments were necessary.  All is good for now, as long as it's sunny!  Here are a few more pictures, down by the riverside.

Did I mention I really like the Ponderosas?  :)

And now here's a really neat story!  Wednesday we were fiddling around with our solar set-up when we went through our normal 1 to 2 hours of total shade.  So we decided to do some grocery shopping and stop by another campground to check out their dump-station, not a particularly enviable task..... the checking of the dump-station, that is (we don't have 1 at our campground).  The campground was divided into 2 sections.  The dump-station and camp hosts were to the left, according to the sign, but I figured to first check out the other side.  We came upon a trailer with a riding lawn mower parked beside it and as we approached we saw a "camp host" sign and 2 people resting in lawn-chairs.  Now, the entrance didn't reveal there was a camp host to the right.  We got out of our truck and approached them.  The conversation went something like this.....after introductions, I mentioned that we just sold our house and are living in our travel trailer full-time.  I told them we were from South Carolina.  They giggled at each other and looked up and said "We are too!"  She said "Charleston!"  And we replied "Us too!"  I said "Actually we're from Awendaw, a little up the road from Charleston".  "Well, we're actually from Daniel Island."   I said "I go to see my doctor on Daniel Island, her name is Lucy Davis."  "THAT'S OUR DOCTOR TOO!"  they exclaimed.  Well, after settling a little from the shock I had to see how far this went!  I thought about the people I know who live on Daniel Island and could not think of anyone who lived there any longer than Bob and Kay U.  So I blurt out "Do you happen to know Bob and Kay U.?"  "KAY AND I BELONG TO THE SAME BOOK CLUB!"
So there you have it!  2 couples, 2500 miles from their home, on a Wednesday afternoon.  Any changes to anything throughout the day leading up to this, including me taking a right instead of a left, could still have put us in the same place, but at a different time.  Christina and Stan may not have been sitting outside in their lawn-chairs and I wouldn't have stopped.  I called Kay the next day and she enjoyed hearing the story.  Now, some people see this as a remarkable, highly unlikely, set of circumstances.  But you and I know better.  I just can't figure out the why part!
