 Friday, September 22, 2023: Mark and Paula took a bus across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. An impressive sight. |
 |
They boarded a boat to head out on the water again. |
  |
|
The Palmetto on the South Carolina
flag is the state tree. |
 |
|
The desitnation was
Fort Sumter,
where the
American Civil War started in 1861. The historic flag was not on the pole that day because of high winds. |
 |
|
The inside is bristling with canons. |
 |
|
This canon could shoot 700 yards,
which is three miles, protecting the harbor of Charleston. |
 |
|
These two jokers were pretending to
fire one of the canons! |
 |
|
Looking into the business end of one
of these formital weapons. |
 |
|
Slaves were used to make bricks abck
in the mid-1800s. Finger impressions are still seen in some bricks. |
 |
|
An OV-1 Mohawk Association T shirt was
spotted on a dog at the gathering. |
 |
|
The group was supposed to dine out on
the bay that night, but high seas kept them at the dock. That didn't keep them from dinner with friends. |
 |
|
The muic was well done. |
 |
|
One of the tables went wild when the
Sweet Caroline song was played. |
 |
|
The evening was over all too soon and it was time to
head back to the hotel.
|
Quote of the day:
One fun experience after another. Mark |
