October 21-26, 2017 Linwood, SC

After the build we went north to catch up with Teri & Joe. We ate brunch at a great restaurant called Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen.  I didn't get any  pictures of the food because I was too busy talking.

We stayed at Cross Winds Family Campground.

It was a beautiful place. 

Bill found his lake

They really liked the grapes

We found another gem.

The Smoke Pit had great food and service.

I got the smoked turkey salad and Bill got a little bit of everything.

On Tuesday we met Teri and toured UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University.  These are two beautiful old campuses who's statues are being protested or have been removed.

Silent Sam was erected in memory of UNC confederate soldiers.
At the dedication of the statue, in 1913, Confederate War Veteran Julian Carr made a racial comment that buy to days standards (not 1913 standards) would be totally  unexceptionable.

This is the Unsung Founders Monument.

This statue is profound.  

It represents the enslaved and freed slaves who build the university.

 A sip from the well on the first day of class

could bring good luck for the coming school year.

This is Teri on her tip toes, getting a drink.

The Carolina Alumni Memorial in Memory of Those Lost in Military Service.

Our next stop was Duke University and the chapel.

This area reminds me of Harry Potter

Duke is not without it's confederate controversy.

As you enter the chapel you will notice a stature is missing from 
the right hand side.

Robert E. Lee was removed from his spot

We sure have added some miles to the rig this year.

Next stop, Mayport, FL
