Love this list. I've got a month to get mine together! Number 1 is going to be finish my PhD.
ReplyDeleteIf you need a recommendation for a waterfall, This website has a great list of SC waterfalls. i did a lot when we were at Clemson and I think my favorite was Lee Falls.
For battlefields, my dad was a civil and revolutionary war buff and I feel like I saw almost every battle field in the south east. One that for some reason stands out in my head was the battle at ninety-six, 96 miles away from where clemson is today.
Another interesting place that I spent a lot of time in high-school was the Congaree Swamp (which since i have moved away, has become a national park). A unique ecosystem in the world, this was also the area where Francis Marion (the swamp fox) lived during the revolutionary war. A highly fictionalized account of francis marion was the mel gibson movie "the patriot," although I think Francis Marion is still a state legend and hero.
I like you number 1. :) I'm really looking forward to experiencing so many of these. Gonna be a great year!
DeleteThanks for the recommendations. I'm so fascinated by South Carolina swamps. I love trying to picture Revolution-era colonists navigating their way thru tidal creeks, swamps and forest.
