Georgetown, SC to St. Augustine, FL and back to Georgetown, SC May 7 and Georgetown, SC to Hampton, VA and back to Georgetown, SC May 8

On May 7, Dwayne, Carla and Frank rented a car and drove round trip from Georgetown to St. Augustine and back.  We left our cars in St. Augustine prior to heading north to Georgetown. The next day, we drove the cars to Hampton, VA and left them there awaiting our arrival with the boats from Georgetown.  It was two long consecutive days of driving which we don't want to repeat. In the future, we will make shorter hops or not do two long days in a row.  In any case, we won't have to move the cars again for a few weeks.

Dwayne came across an interesting statue of Francis Marion, "The Swamp Fox" at an old fording site near the highway not far from Williamsburg.  Colonel Marion and the Williamsburg Militia harassed the British forces under the command of Lord Cornwallis. The inability of the British to capture the allusive American earned Francis Marion his moniker, "The Swamp Fox.  South Carolina is dotted with waysides and signs recording historic events.  These provide periodic rests from driving as both Dwayne and Carla are interested in history.
