Oct 29; this is an old one, but I am not getting a view that I posted the 29th version and I hope this corrects it? Did the 29th publish with 5 pictures?

Oct27—no wi-fi

How will I describe the day to thee. In a word, WET! But that is not enough, it was also misty. Imagine, misty and no swamp!

Spartanburg is the name of the place; rolling hills but the mist does not allow us to get a real feel for topography. Passed a big Disney warehouse or manufacturing site on the way to the campsite.

We had lunch at the Plantation restaurant where we got tips on where to buy slaves. Just kidding, we got advice on where to see peanut plants. We tried but the crop had been harvested and by the time we re-located to our highway, the ginkgo trees that I was going to take a picture of were nowhere to be found. Sorry folks no quiz today!

Lots of cotton still on the plants and much of the soil is strawberry red.

Along our entire route, we came across a vine that was so proliferate that it would cover every limb and trunk of a tree. It grew on deciduous and coniferous trees; power poles, support wires for poles, the ground. It is said to have come from Japan. Can you guess?

Don’t tell anyone; not a single soul. I took some sand from Myrtle Beach. Zip those lips!

Can you hear it? Rain, rain, rain; tomorrow is supposed to be a better day. It is not cold.

Cheers.
