South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Just not that good or is this an authenticity thing?! Like a Mexican telling me my favorite Mexican restaurant really isn’t that good yet I still love it anyway cause it’s all we got! They never seem to take me up on the offer to let them cook real-authentic for me!! Wanna make me some real Thai food?!

 

Looks good. Hey u have any info on that shirt?

 

That was a proposal for the nation flag, by South Carolina politician & general Christopher Gadsden.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag
It got in to the final discussion (& had popular support) with the red stripe/blue field of stars flag. The yellow flag was paired with the rattlesnake to be the national symbols. Both had pros & cons, with the stripes/eagle set as the more “traditional” set, seen as derivatives of others with eagles & corporate flags (it’s based directly upon the East Indian Company flag, the ACTUAL one, not that used in Pirates of the Caribbean).

Ben Franklin was the biggest advocate of the snake symbolism, with his oft-mentioned turkey as a retorical device to make fun of the eagle (turkey is more noble than the eagle).

It was actually VERY close. A proposal was to adopt both, one a “peacetime” flag & the other as the “wartime” flag, as had been used before in Europe.
Obviously, the stripped flag & eagle won in the end, but many used the “Gadsden Flag,” both in combat & as their flag.

 

Lovin the break in the heat!!

 

^^^ Confirmed.

 

Anyone have a recommendation for camping near water in the upstate? Willing to drive an hour or two from Greenville.

Just looking for a somewhat secluded spot where I can camp and take the pup swimming either tonight or next weekend. Fine if I have to off-road to get there (preferred honestly haha).

I’ve been to Charlie’s creek a few times in GA but looking for other options as well.

Thanks!

Water is super clear- can see straight down!

 

Trust me I love Jocaseee haha but most of their near water spots are usually taken and it’s a little more populated than I would like. I have a state park pass so I hit there often though, awesome recommendation!

Really looking for something more in the backcountry!

 

And it's cold as fck!!!!

 

Chestnut mt/gorges.
Not sure how populated it is but there's a pretty sweet camping area at horsepasture river.

 

I think you can camp at the lake portion of horsepasture rd, just no fires are allowed.

 

Maybe Check out Caesars Head state park then. Nice little hike to the falls.

If you really want to get out Dupont state forest in NC is beautiful.

Crowders MTN in NC is an awesome hike with epic views too.

 

Mountain water for ya!

 

Headed up to chestnut mountain in about an hour.

 

I was there a few weekends ago, figured it would probably be full this weekend!

That is exactly the type of stuff I’m looking for though!

 

I would love to - wish that lake access was open year round

 

DuPont is definitely an area I need to explore more. I have been to crowders (climbing) and Caesar’s head a fair amount, awesome suggestions!

Pisgah is beautiful too, need to do more camping up there

 

It is, isn't it?
They changed it a couple years ago I thought to be year around access.
