It is pouring rain when I pass through Charleston. I did stop at Charlestown Landing State Historic site and walked around in the rain but it was too wet for my camera. I continued on to Edisto Island State Park, again it was raining so just drove through. Everyone at Myrtle Beach had raved about this Park but I did not see why. One the way out the rain had let up so I did squeeze in a tour of Botany Bay Plantation. Lucked out because the next day it would be closed for hunting. Almost made it through dry but the sky opened up on the way back to the RV and I got drenched.
The 4,630-acre plantation on Edisto Island was a gift from the Margaret Pepper family. It was given to the state in 1977 by Mr. Pepper, but was only able to be used after his wife passed away so she would have the opportunity to continue her years on the land she loved, as per her husband's request.
In July 2008, the land - now a Wildlife Management Area operated by South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources - was made open to the public.
