Group: 11
(Most of North Carolina, Interior South Carolina)
This group has not been visited yet.
This is a perfect spring trip, and will include all remaining sites in North and South Carolina.
The trip will start on the western side of South Carolina and proceed into North Carolina, taking in four Revolutionary War battle sites. There will also be a visit to the home of Carl Sandberg.
Heading to the Atlantic coast, I'll visit this site of the Wright Brother's first powered airplane flight, then ponder the lost colony of Roanoke Island. Continuing down the outer banks, I'll take in two National Seashores, enjoying a ferry ride between them, and visit some famous lighthouses.
The trip concludes with one final Revolutionary War battlefield at Moores Creek before heading back home.
