On the census of 1850 it listed one plantation owner as having 1,000 slaves. They harvested 4 million pounds of rice that year.

Look at this! A real turtle by the Turtle and Duck sculpture.
Tickets for this enormous Historic Site are valid for seven days. We didn't see everything. Lots to see on this former rice plantation.
Several people were by the side of the road when we came into our campground. They pointed out the snake!!!
We finally made it to the beach. Don't like the looks of tomorrow's forecast. Rain again.
We have to soak in as much of this sunshine as we can. Temperature got to 63 today and sunny all day.
A blue moon is when there are two full moons in a month. Well, I have two. Ions in this shot. In the sky and reflecting of the water on the shore.
We are staying again at Huntington Beach State Park. Did I ever mention how much I like South Carolina? Yes, I do.
