Caw Caw, best $1 in SC







Todays journey took us to Caw Caw Interpretive center which was without question, the best $1 (admission fee) we have seen this trip. As is true of much the low country in this area, the park was once a rice plantation. I had no idea how much rice came from South Carolina until we saw the stats which say that this was the leading rice producer for the US for many years. The park has several trails ranging from a boardwalk swamp trail to the rice fields and a maritime forest trail. And yes, we are still in gator country. All the trails are nice easy walks. The only difficultly we had was the tree pollen which on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 10. When we get up in the morning the car and everything horizontal is covered in a layer of yellow green powder. At one fork in the trail we looked up as the wind caught the tree tops and it looked like colored snow!
