As we travel north on the ICW, the low, marsh lands have given way to abandoned rice fields and now stately cypress dripping with Spanish moss. Instead of sea gulls, we see osprey. The WaterWay Guide calls this stretch along the Waccamaw River one of the prettiest scenerys along the ICW. More on this later.
After leaving Charleston we headed to McClellanville for one night.
McClellanville is majorly small town South Carolina. I don’t think they have any traffic lights, but they sure do have some shrimp boats. Shrimp boats and another big, old tree. In fact, I read that the Deerhead Oak Tree in McClellanville is even older than Angel Tree in St. John’s. Beth and I decided that it may be older, but it isn’t nearly as majestic.
We also saw this cute old church while we were out walking and I had to get a couple pictures for you.
Dinner on the boat was the best Shrimp and Grits ever, made with local shrimp and prepared by our very own Chef Mark.
While we enjoyed our 2 nights in Georgetown, it wasn’t quite as quaint as I had hoped. Beth and I did get out to walk the neighborhood and look at the numerous homes built in the late 1700’s, to early 1900’s. Georgetown also has it’s “oldest” tree. While it was a beauty, it didn’t compare with Angel Tree or Deerhead Tree.
