I know right where that shed is. It still there, but unfortunately the orchards have been swallowed up by housing developments.

That top picture, the shed, reminds me a lot of a peach shed that used to stand on SC 296 just west of Reidville. The shed was at a point, if I recall, where the road veered left, and made a great visual statement. In the time I recall, that entire area was thick with beautiful peach orchards. Oh how I miss those days! Spartanburg County had some remarkable orchards.

Google’s Earth’s “Help > Check for updates online” has never worked for me. I aways have to manually check from time to time. Thanks for the heads up.

I don’t see how spammers could inject code into the WP software or the site itself. I’ll admit I don’;t know much about PHP – used it once because it was already in place. But sounds like there are some serious security vulnerabilities in the ISP or the software itself. (Dang, can I state the obvious! )

That’s really interesting. I didn’t know so much of lower Richland was sold to blacks back in the day. A black family at our church has lived in the Hopkins area for several generations (I believe). Maybe they are descended for people who got the land back then.

I continue to enjoy your writeups, especially those related to outdoor activities.

Neoprene gloves can be found in the fishing section of at Wal-Mart for cheap.

That is an impressive shirt. Brings back memories of working with Freehand while at Clemson.

I found an online photo of the Chappells Depot in the October 3, 1988 edition of the Newberry Observer. You will probably need to scroll up a little to see the photo.
