The Longest Drive

9,325 Miles of the USA

South Carolina (May 26)

Left: The second main objective for South Carolina was the estate of Charles Pinckney, one of the lesser known of our founding fathers.  I was looking forward to learning more of his life and times. Below: Although this is the land that used to belong to Pinckney, his old house is long gone.  It was okay, but no Kitty Hawk... er... Kill Devil Hills.

It was recommended that I see the old part of Charleston, so I went.  As a resident of the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay area, I was made to feel right at home.

Above:  Typical residents of Charleston.  Actually, they worked at a museum, but this part of the city is old, historic, and impecably maintained.  One of the nearby houses represents the state in my 50 State Pledge. Left: Still, the downturn in the economy has hit this town too.  This historic house was going for just about $2,500,000.  Location, location, location! I was remiss in my tkourist duties and forgot to ask if anyone here actually danced the Charleston.  Next stop, Georgia.

This is the start of Part 2 of my Longest Drive Tour.  For Part 1, go back to the Main Travel Page.
