Jake has been battling poor internet connections so he phoned his brother Luke with an update from Cape Romain S.C. about 30 miles N. of Charleston. Jake spent yesterday visiting Ft. Sumter, site where the first battle of the Civil War took place in 1861, (Stay in school kids!) and friends in Charleston. He put in 30 miles today to make it to Cape Romain. Jake's spirits were up as Charleston was the point he has been targeting as the half way point since he began planning this trip. I guess you could say he is now back on his way home! He is putting together details of the past few days and hopes to have a strong enough connection to have new blogs posted soon. Stay tuned!

You are paddling along the section of Atlantic coast where Hurrican Hugo came on shore in 1989. I drove from Mytle Beach to Charleston two months after the storm and thousands of acres of tees on the Francis Marion National Forest were broken off 16-20 feet above the gound. The devastation went on for mile afte mile. It was depressing (for a forester). Hope your portion of the coast is much prettier now. Have fun!!!
