our final Saturday in SC!

Beautiful morning, we listened to WOJB from Reserve, Wisconsin on the interent. they were broadcasting the Birkebeiner before we went to the Ion Swamp trail to help the Eagle Scout build the bridge in the morning.  The temp in Cable was -10 it was +60 here at race time!

the finished product...

doesn't it look great?  they did a fine job. they had pizza for lunch but we had a date with some shrimp and oysters..

I had oysters, and Eric had the shrimp po' Boy...  we had already eaten about 6 of the shrimp before the picture was taken!!!  in the background are sweet potato fries, the boiled peanuts and wonderful cole slaw.  we also had crab dip and crackers with sweet tea to quench our thrist!  absolutely wonderful.

We walked a bit about Chareston after lunch, of course we happened to pass the "candy" stores, and had to pick up 2 more fudge pralines, and some divinity!  this will probably be our last time to get these mouth watering sweets.. 

we took a quick trip through the Citadel in Charleston.  looks like a very fortified college. On January 9, 1861, Citadel Cadets manning an artillery battery on Morris Island fired the first hostile shots of the Civil War, repulsing the federal steamship Star of the West, carrying supplies and two hundred federal troops dispatched by President Buchanan to reinforce Union Forces garrisoned at Fort Sumter.

Headed back to the campground to find we had a few new campers.  made the rounds, had a fire, listened to blue grass and honky tonk on WOJB!  great way to end the day...
