It’s been way too long since I updated this blog… I’m sorry for the general slacking on my part. I do however, have some new stuff to share.
I went on a road trip to Beaufort, SC on July 1st. I traveled thru Yemasse, SC and came across the Old Sheldon Church ruins. It was so beautiful! But so muggy, God love the south in the summer. You step out the car and the heat is so intense it literally takes your breath away. Don’t forget about the mosquitos, we started to venture down to the marsh until we were attacked by a swarm of them. Go figure I left my ‘Deep Woods’ bug spray at home this time…
Next we traveled further towards the coast, finally arriving at Hunting Island State Park. The beach is loosing a lot of land and trees due to erosion. It was really spectacular to see all these large trees and their roots fully exposed, then hardened and preserved by the sea. She is so unforgiving, the sea… takes with her whatever is in her path…
There were once many cabins for rent at the park. Today, only one remains standing (and is booked for at least 5 years…), I was hoping to find at least 2 cabins left. However, the sea claimed another one last year… You can see the last remaining one in the background, the small blue building in the distance. This is what’s left of the other one, a few hundred feet of bricks and blocks and pipes and all sorts of other things. All covered in rust and cru stations, broken glass and even a blanket were buried in the sand. I wonder how long it will take the tide to wash it all away.
We ended our first and only night down in Beaufort with a fantastic trip to the Dockside Restaurant. With impeccable timing, we were able to watch the sunset as we has some pre-dinner cocktails. It was absolutely amazing.
Till next time! Which, I promise, won’t be so long.
