Where are we?

(From ‘The Oaks’ at Point South, SC.)

I started this blog to keep the family informed as to where we were. Over the years I have started dropping the location. Now I am getting some complaints, “We don’t know where you are?”

“That is the point,”  I answer jokingly. So I am going to try to remember to note the location.  I don’t think the bill collectors read my blog, ‘DO YOU?’

The Oaks doesn’t tell you much, so we are a couple miles south of Yemassee, SC and 5 miles north of Coosawhatchie, SC.  Now you know exactly where we are, huh?

For better land marks, we are about 20 miles from Beaufort, SC & Parris Island.  We are 33 miles north of the GA/SC line and about the same from Savannah, GA.

Just before we get here and I see the name Coosawhatchie, I think of the Withlacoochee river in Florida. The names make me smile.

Ever hear of Screaming Woman Creek, Yelling Woman Creek or Hollering woman Creek? I think they are the same and are in Texas. I know in West Virginia there is a Strange Creek. Near Wachula there is a Worrying Creek.

(Not an odd name but an neatly odd place. Hundreds of concrete figures made from concrete, broken bottles, and other stuff the artist picked up off the roads, near Park Fall, WI)

That is another entertaining thing about traveling, the names you encounter.  And being from the south, I can murder most names in an attempt to pronounce them..

Any strange or odd names near you?

Thanks for stopping by the log, it was nice of you.

PS:

I hear the statement many times, “I don’t have the time.”  In reality, we all have the same amount of time, 24 hours a day. Admittedly, some manage it better.  (In school, business or church, if you need a volunteer find a busy person and you will get the volunteer work done.)

Strange names and strange cars. The Dynamaxion, in 1933 Mr Fuller invented this one. Three wheels with the single wheel at the rear steering it.
