Our second and last day of touring the historic city of Charleston South Carolina. We had to reach Columbia South Carolina for our overnight lodge, so today we would be visiting Fort Sumter, the place where Civil War started, and then be on our way to Columbia. So much for the historic buildings in downtown Charleston.
After more than two weeks of road trip exploring Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, we were back at Salt Lake City for a night's rest, before taking a morning flight back to Washington DC where I would be preparing my apartment moveout.
Our final day roaming America's mountain areas for the summer of 2019. The plan of the day was to drive from Kalispell, the gateway to Glacier National Park, to Salt Lake City, where our flight to Washington DC would depart the next day.
Sunday July 14, 2019. After landing in Salt Lake City last night, we planned to use the day as a buffer before our road trip to Yellowstone / Glacier National Parks, visiting a few attractions of Salt Lake City while gearing up for two weeks on the road.
After spending two days visiting San Francisco, one of the loveliest cities in US by a tourist stand point, we were about to take an evening flight to Salt Lake City.
It was end of May and beginning of summer, and I decided my adventures should go a little bit farther than usual, and there came this trip to the Carolinas.
So on the afternoon of May 30th, I went to New Jersey to pick up a dear friend and very good companion for the trip, and we set off for Norfolk, Virginia the next morning. It was 4pm by the time we drove past Yorktown, as we decided that
We would be driving into rush hour traffic of Norfolk, which would be bad.
I had been driving for hours that day without any sightseeing, which would be boring.
Since Yorktown Colonial National Historical Park was just nearby (actually I could see the spire of Victory Monument as I crossed York River), we decided to pay it a visit.
A bright sunny weekend in the middle of May, as I decided to embrace nature again. This time, I picked Rocks State Park in Northern Maryland, which consists of many short hiking trails.
As we left Outer Banks last night it was about halfway of our road trip to the Carolinas. Today and tomorrow we would be enjoying the wonderful historic city of Charleston South Carolina.
