We waited for the early am fog to clear and entered the Bevill Lock at 08:00.  Unfortunately, as often times happens, the down river side of the lock was totally fogged in.  Since there is no place to tie up or anchor we had no choice but to proceed slowly until the fog cleared about 09:15.  The rest of the day was beautiful.  We anchored in a beautiful spot in the Sumpter Area State Park, took the dinghy ashore with Beth & Dean, and took a short walk through the woods.  The anchorage was very well protected from wind and current from all sides, and we enjoyed a peaceful quiet night at anchor.
