Today is our tour of Georgetown. One of the first things we did was to wander the back roads of Pawleys Island. SW was in search of a grave that as a youth, they would visit and tell ghost stories. Low and behold he found it on the very first attempt. The grave is located at the All Saints Church. The area has changed some since SW was last there but he found it. After we parked we crossed the street and entered the cemetery. The story goes that Alice’s grave is a simple marker. We scattered and based on SW’s clues we searched for about 15 minutes. In the distance I noticed 2 females and a male standing and talking. There was also a camera on a tripod. Not wanting to be obtrusive, I wandered in a different direction. A few minutes later SW had spoken with the people and said he had found the grave.
The people were a local historian and a couple that owned a paranormal business. They were investigating Alice. We spoke for about 15 minutes and found that the couple were really interested in the back story of the history of the paranormal more so than the actual “ghost”. The couple own Shady Lane Paranormal. They have their own YouTube channel. It is a very interesting story. If you are interested, Google it. Lots of information available.
After we left the cemetery we ventured on to our tour of Georgetown and SW’s youth. It was very interesting and gave us some insight into our friend. After riding for a while he took us to one of his favorite dining establishments. The Ball and Cue. The food was very good. Great service. After lunch we continued our tour and stopped in Historic Downtown Georgetown. We checked out the Rice Museum but opted not to go on the tour. As a side note, the area, Low Country, was the rice capital of the world.
We did go through the Georgetown County Museum. It was a very educational experience. It was fabulous. SW even had a chance to talk to some locals. It was a great day. On the way home we stopped at Pawleys Island Hammocks. They are very comfortable and seem like they would last for several years.
The rest of our week there we discovered new dining, at least to us, Lee’s Inlet Kitchen. And we shared a couple of our favorite places with our friends, Johnny D’s Waffle House and The Sea Captain’s House. Additionally we had a chance to catch up with our friends Chris and Jim, the campground hosts.
All and all a very nice week. Friday February 25, 2022 we packed up and headed home. We will restock, go to our appointments and get everything ready to depart on April 12th to continue our Bucket List Tour. See y’all in April.
