Memory Monday

Copyright 2015 AJ Horton

Happy Monday to all.  Today I have the memory of kayaking the Edisto River in North, South Carolina, this past weekend,  North, South Carolina is a cute name.  One would think that it is a town in northern South Carolina.  It is not.  North is actually named after a man, John North, who, in 1892, along with a few others, donated land necessary to create the town.  The next year, John North became the town's first Mayor,  Because of a train stop, the town grew quickly,  Go to townofnorth-sc.gov to see more of North's history.  One more notable piece of information about North - Eartha Kitt was born there.  Eartha Kitt, a famous entertainer, lived in North until she and her family moved to New York when Eartha was just 8 years.  Check out Eartha Kitt online, too, if you want.  She actually played Catwoman on the "60s TV show Batman and Robin for a while.

But back to North for kayaking..... this is the Edisto River.  The Edisto is 250 miles of undammed water that travels through 12 South Carolina Counties before it meets the Atlantic Ocean.  I haven't kayak all 250 miles, but there's still time.

I hope you had a memorable Monday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
