For some reason we took a 'side-road' to Edisto.. don't remember why..

.. look what we found!

Not sure of the whole story.. some kind of plantation.
Past it are "swamp" areas that might have been rice fields.. as far as I could see. [ I'll see if I can find pics of them ] I can't help but wonder what kind of critters live in there now. NO TRESPASSING signs everywhere!!!

A closer look.. look at the trees..

And the tree across the road from the gates.. [ another one of my favorite pics ]..

The "Low Country" of SC.. is what they call this part of the Atlantic coast-line...

Thanks you for sharing Terry :)

Your pics are amazing, the pictures with the trees remind me of pictures that people use as a desktop background, they are so peaceful.

those trees in front of the house are kinda spooky. did you go any further onto the property? was it abandoned or something?

Josh I got the impression they didn't want anyone in there with their METAL DETECTORS!

When you drive on past the front of this what I think is really an old plantation.. just past the trees.. is this. Wonder if there are "critters" in there? Imagine what you could find around midnight some moon-lit night.. if you went wading this foot-deep [ close to the road anyway ] swamp..

Terry,

Thanks for bringing back lot of memory of north Florida, I did drive through some roads like the one in your pictures, we used to call these "canopy roads", and I bet you there probably are many water snakes, alligators, and may be some snapped turtles in that swamp. If there were not any warning posts around the property, I would take a risk to find out what is behind that gate, and inside the building. Just wear your best running shoes, and be prepare to run for your life and hope that whoever lives there, don't have a shot gun:D
