Well so much for that, man this is not good. I heard ol' Wayne B. caugth some fellers from N.C. down here stealing hay, a 100 miles is a long way to drive to steal and ya know theres none for sale. Walter E. is feeding his watermellons now. Worst I've seen in near 50 years. Let's stop by Rock Creek on the way home.

Man dry here too,should be lots of water here. I guess the only water we got is from the waste treatment 5 mi. up stream. Be careful this has allways been a good place to bust your butt. This creek and Lightwood Knot meet at my house to make the N. Edisto.

This is what we call The Wash Hole party and a swim. It's the remains of Gen. Paul Quattlebaums mill pond at his plantation Pinearea. It blew out on the right in 1893 and the water washed a hole out so deep it aint got no bottom and I aint got a pic. of it

This is where the General is buried along with his son and son-in-law. Where the flags are. The Gen. was a signer of The Ordnance of Sucession and is an Uncle of mine. His father lived upstream a ways and thats where the Quattlebaum rifles where made. Got a Hall and a Quattlebaum rifle in our state musuem

They said the Gen. was never the same after the news of this. This was the last or next to last battle of the war.

Halls made rifles too. It was here.Not much too look at again,but it was 150 years ago.
