Re: Burdie's Trip Day 1 2008. For those who can't get out this is for you.

If I don't have a house I guess I will have to travel the rest of my life. To bad so sad. :tongue3:

We took a foody tour today. Stoped in places the locals go to. All I can say is WOW!!!

The best smothered shrimp I have ever tasted. :blob7:

All natural ingredients fantastic cupcakes.

Also brownies to die for.

Oh yes we had to stop at a chocolate store that has chocolate from all over the world shipped in.

We left after gaining 5 lbs.

Our last stop was at Lady and sons. A buffet style. It was Paula Dean's second location. Great food. Well I will post later on about Historic places.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Here are some pictures of the Historic down town district.

I wonder what is in front of this place? :BangHead:

I would love to hunt this park.

I love these old trees. All I could think of was all the Spanish reales laying in the ground. :tongue3:

Hope you enjoy.

Here are a few more.

The dueling pistols was used in1870's I believe.

Most of the houses were built in 1800's

Here is one of the colonial homes.

Going to the oldest house in Savannah tonight. Next to it is the Pirate house. If you had a little to much to drink you might be abducted into the navy.

I found another Gem today in Modern Miner. He is a super nice guy. We hunted a site most people would die for.
We made a mad dash for Raleigh with limited stops and no pictures. In the first 10 minutes I found a great little part to a buckle I think. The experts can tell me what it is I hope. I might add for an old man I wore down in this heat fast. I can't tell you how much fun I had though. Just walking on the same ground of a CW site was fantastic. MM Thank You.

Heading for the high country to search for Gems tommorrow.

Keep those pics coming. Glad you had a great hunt with MM.

Speaking of Paula Deen, today's local paper has her in the headlines. If they get their website up for today I will post it. But, she visited Ponchatoula, her brother-in-law (husband's brother) is the priest there at Holy Ghost Catholic Church. What a small world?

Re: Burdie's Trip July 15 th. UP Date.

Internet slow as 1755 LOL. Well today we drove around and looked at some old buildings and a few houses. I didn't get out and ask to hunt. I was chicken. Did visit Fort Dobbs a colonial fort to help protect residents from the French and Indians.

I have the feeling the Indians are near get your defenses set up.

This is a cabin just like the colonials built.

Hmmm something seems wrong with this picture. :icon_scratch:

These are types of defensive measures they set up around the stockade.

Similar type of water well they used.

Thanks for looking

Here are the results of the hiddenite mine escapade. Even Vicki got in the mud and dug for Gems. We did have fun but throw the clothes away when you get done.
