So I took off my Genealogy hat and put on my Sciency Hat… and made a beer run.

  1. I hiked and explored one of those bays near Williston SC a few years ago. Also discovered a forgotten old graveyard hidden back and being overgrown in the woods in the area.

  2. Did you know at the time that it was a huge, honking kilometer sized chunk of ice that was hurled down from the Canadian ice some 12,600 years ago, give or take, from a comet impact that landed in the Carolinas and then melted? Be honest now…smiling.
