Charleston was where we discovered the ‘Wild Wing’ cafe...love the blazing hot sauces they offer. Took a tour of Patriot’s Point...100 degrees in the sun. Those ships got some hot...yipe! Came back into Charleston over the OLD Cooper River Bridge...my knuckles are still white.
The first `second Cooper River bridge’ was completed in 1966 when I reported to The Citadel. The old ferro-cement hull near Patriots’ Point was easy to see from it (a failed WWI experiment; some still think it’s a German U-boat).
But whenever it was closed for maintenance, the old bridge became two-way and THAT was a white-knuckler! Built in 1928 & obsolete from the beginning we were told.
Glad you enjoyed Charleston. Heck, I’m only 120 miles away. But I once lived two miles from Washington’s Mount Vernon & never visited it. Been to old Fort Washington on the Maryland side several times.
