Cabins and Caches and Celestial Karma







One of my goals is to visit, camp in, explore and really experience all the wonderful state parks in South Carolina. To start it off, my partner Sandy and I spent this past weekend at Edisto Beach State Park. The cabin was located on Scott's Creek and the sunrise reflected brilliantly off the water into the bedroom each morning, great alarm clock. Fully furnished (except for a tea pitcher) clean, quiet and central to most of the island, the cabin and park were great. I would definitely recommend a stay there.



Geocaches are plentiful all over the island and nearby. Some are whimsical, some are artistic and some teach a little history of the area. Many thanks to all the folks who work so diligently to put out and maintain caches. One local point of interest (and a geocache site) is the Angel Tree, a huge live oak, thought to be one of the oldest living things east of the Mississippi River.



I went out to take pictures of the sunrise on the day we left, Christmas Eve, and was delighted to find the moon still shining in the west. The official full moon was to be that night. How often would one get the chance to take pictures of a full moon (almost) and a sunrise at the same time!
