You'll have plenty of time for that when you're living in a van down by the river...

Into the Woods- Carolina Beach State Park, NC 04/112010


The van arrives at Carolina Beach State Park two hours before dusk. The campsite is alive with screaming children, overwhelmed parents, and a troop of Virginia Boy Scouts experiencing the thrill of nature while holding fast to their plastic assault rifles. I gather brochures from the Park Office as we check in and discover that Carolina Beach is home to many a carnivorous plant. Even better the $18 camping fee includes access to HOT SHOWERS. I will reluctantly share that in the week since I left Bethesda I have showered only once. This, combined with the atmosphere of last night’s camp, leaves me with a decidedly scummy feeling.
