Our Rest Day is in Point South with little resources in the area: Wendy’s Subway, McDonald’s, a knife outlet. After sleeping in – all the way until 7 a.m. – and having breakfast at Denny’s (associated with the hotel), a group of us wandered to the Frampton Plantation, the Low Country Visitor’s Center nearby.
While the Plantation turned out to mostly be a gift shop and pamphlet outlet, I did run into Sue Decker’s daughter from Northminster – small world! She is touring in Savannah and Charleston with friends.

- Note the face in the 250-year old live oak tree.
Net I wrote thank you cards, did laundry, wrote emails, cleaned and worked on my bike, lounged with cycling friends – but I was BORED!
So I decided to go for a ride, first to Carolina Cider Company, less than a mile down the road, then on to Old Sheldon Church Ruins. The lighting in the photos isn’t great, due to cloudy skies, but these were grand ruins.

- Carolina Cider Company.

Ended up with 16.92 bonus miles today.
