I've been a Civil War Era Buff my entire life...

November 19, 2024 02:23PM
Not just the war.... but the only "major", (it's debatable), site I have not visited in regards to the war is Fort Sumter. Several years back I wrote on this board about my attempt to visit Fort Sumter.

I was on a "Round the USA" motorcycle trip.... nearing Augusta they stopped me. Hurricane warning. I had to make a U-Turn. From there I tried to visit New Orleans but once again they stopped me, hurricane warning. I made a third attempt to see the sea at Galveston and you guessed it - they stopped me, hurricane warning. laughing smiley

Charleston, Fort Sumter, have been on my bucket list since forever ago..... and unfortunately I probably won't make it on this trip. We'll be too busy. BUT - I'll be headed back to Georgia pretty often now that my son will be living there so I'll definitely visit Fort Sumter in the near future.

  Hinesville area! Remote house should be easy to find there.
