I visited the Congaree National Park near Gadsden, SC. This is the nation's largest collection of 150-plus foot pine and cypress trees in a floodplain setting. They have facilities for camping, water sports, and hiking, including an extensive boardwalk in the forest.
I saw lots of squirrels and lizards, a couple of red-headed woodpeckers, and this guy, who was camera-shy.
From Congaree, I traveled to the Charlotte, NC area. I saw two Christian sites, the headquarters of the Bible Broadcasting Network and (at least the entrance to) the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Library. Unfortunately, it was late in the afternoon and there wasn't really a good photo opportunity.
Just down the road in Kannapolis, I visited the park where NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt is honored with a huge statue. He was clearly revered in this area.
