I look forward to the messages posted here and in the Facebook Group "
What Makes Your State Great?" every day. This journey has been amazing. I've learned so many things about this great land of ours. I've seen sorrows and joys. I've learned of proud moments and some very sad moments in this great land. We are not perfect. We make mistakes; however the ability to recognize these mistakes and learn from them is what makes us who we are.
As always my facts come from 50states.com.
Headed back down south we're going to kick of today with love and protection to the great state of South Carolina!
Hail South Carolina!!

The
Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel was started in 1856 by a railroad company and is bored for more than a mile into the granite heart of fabled Stumphouse Mountain. The coming of the Civil War in 1859 ended the work on the project. Some years ago,
Clemson University made
Blue Mold Cheese in the tunnel successfully for the first time in the South.

A noble
Catawba Indian who befriended early Camden settlers,
King Haiglar is often called "The Patron Saint of Camden." Today, he reigns over Camden in the form of a life-sized weather vane which graces the tower of what once was the circa-1886 Opera House.
