Day 8 10/29/2020 Yemassee to Fripp Island, SC

 I had a remarkable nights sleep last night.  Lisa and I woke up this morning and had a nice hot breakfast at the hotel.  It was then time for me to head out on my bike to Fripp Island.

Some scenery pics from today.








Below are pics of historical plaques containing information about the area.





My route took me through Beaufort.  The roads had light traffic until I got close to Beaufort, at which time it became congested.  Fortunately for me, Beaufort has a nice multi-use trail called the Spanish Moss Trail that allowed me to get off the busy road for about 3 miles.  Below are some pics from the trail.





Below are pics of a nice home in Beaufort and the downtown area.  Beaufort is a very historic area with some nice homes on streets lined with large oak trees with Spanish moss growing on them.




I made it to the end of U.S. Highway 21 just before Hunting Island.  After Hunting Island came Fripp Island, my final destination for today.

Lisa and I are staying with Chattanooga friends Mike and Melanie for a couple of days.  Pic of Lisa and Melanie below.  Mike took us on a tour of the island on his golf cart.  Many of the residents of the island get around by golf cart.  


Below are some pics from their rooftop deck at around sundown.





Total miles today:  46.2
