Now that we have sorted the A?C for the Trailer Sally and I have slowed down the pace a bit. From Lake Juliette we travelled only 50 miles to Madison, then another 80 miles to Lake Hartnell State Park in South Carolina.
About 20 miles north of Lake Juliette we passed through a small town called Monticello, quite unremarkable, except as we drove in to the town the road came into the corner of the town square. It was uncanny, the town square looked exactly like the 50’s version of the town square in Back To The Future!!!, with the little hedge going round the gardens in the middle of the square, café on the corner opposite the town hall, which had columns and a town hall clock. We were there in Hill Valley Town Square. Unfortunately my camera was still set on manual exposure from taking pics the previous night and the picuter I took while driving, was hopelessly overexposed.
We arrived at the Country Boys RV park in plenty of time for lunch. We then set out to explore Madison.
Madison is famous as the town that Sherman didn’t burn down in his march to the sea.
The town is very proud that it has a number of houses which predate the Civil War. They have produced a walking tour which highlights many of the older and finer houses. We had a very pleasant afternoon wandering round gawping at these houses, the oldest of which dates from 1811. We have put some of the pictures on a slide show
