From Waxhaw Presbyerian we headed south, then crossed the Catawba River. Our next stop was Landsford Canal State Park. However, the day had gotten away from us faster than we had planned. We stopped at the old cemetery at the entrance to the park, but didn’t make it into the park itself. We just didn’t have time to explore it like we wanted
The extent of this cemetery is always surprise because much of it is hidden in trees. There were also several fallen trees that had damaged or obscured some headstones.
It had been another successful MLK Day ramble. The Waxhaws is certainly worth a trip and we would like to head back out this way. In addition to Landsford Canal there are all of the historic battlefields and some interesting geological features to explore. But, for now, we had a long drive back to Greenville.
Amazing!! I look forward to exploring the area.
Several things caught my attention. The Tower of Babel certainly does not look like any ziggurat I ever saw pictured. I guess that would have put me a little off when it comes to the other exhibits, unless they had an explanation of why this tower looks so different.
I had a bit of a funny thought when I was reading your comments about the campground. The newer structures, the things that did not look quite authentically ramshackle or historic. I was reminded in this of the scene in the fourth harry potter book. At the campground for the Quidditch World Cup. Some of the tents did not definitely look Muggle at all. The rambling 2 level tents with turrets and towers and what not. Anyway, it is amazing what one sees sometimes. And quite a story in itself. Sounds like a fantastic trip!
