Exploring the East Coast

The East coast was the one coast that we have not seen all of yet. It was beautiful and lot different than I was expecting, more cliff less beach. But now we have officially circumnavigated the island! On our way home through the mountains we stopped off at a park that advertised camping. It was almost dark and there was no one around (except for the tourists from NY having a drink out of the back of their trunk). We took the girls for a walk and saw how awesome this park was and that we needed to camp here then we started getting bit by the mosquito's and went back to the car.

The next day we got ready to go camping and went searching for the Department of Natural Resources to get a camping permit. We had the hardest time finding it and was going to bag it and head up to the town we saw the DNRA office near the park when a DNRA car drove up to us at a light and I got them to roll down there window to explain were the building was. We were so close when we did finally find it. It was a pretty simple process when I found the permit office. The ladies told me the park was under flood watch and that we would not be able to camp there that night. The suggested another park more on the Southwest side of the island on a lake in the mountains that would probably be a lot drier. So we went!
