First Paragraph of Introduction
Hikers always seem to head for the hill. The same goes for mountain
bikers and equestrians. In our wildest adventures, we're always
doing something exotic like whitewater paddling in Peru, driving
cattle through Wyoming or trekking in the Himalayas. Even here, on
the East Coast, we're obsessed with our last wild places such as the
rigged Blue Wall Escarpment or Jocassee Gorges. The grass is always
greener there...Until Now.
Now we have a long distance trail in South Carolina's Coastal
Plain. But you may ask "Just where is the Coastal Plain?" The term
is hard to define. People in the Upstate consider everything below
Columbia as the Lowcountry. However, people along the coast have a
more definitive answer and that being the Outer Coastal Plain. Some
people define it by geography, others by people, and some by
plants...
