And so this morning I took my sweet time packing and leaving on my trip. I stopped a few times to let Evie stretch her legs and to fill up the tank.
And then as it became half past five, I wondered how long the park office would be open so that I could check in. If I was late, I figured that I could claim my site and register with a park ranger in the morning.
I drove past Myrtle Beach and on to Huntington Beach as the sun began to set. At 5:45 pm I pulled into the park and said to the kind park volunteer who filled out the paperwork for me and registered me for my site: "What would have happened if I had arrived after 6:00 pm when your sign says the gate is closed?"
"You would have been locked out!" shouted the ranger from somewhere in the back..."
Luckily, I arrived just in the nick of time!
Love, Ronda
