2001 South Carolina

We met in February after my show week. This was a really great trip… one of our best. We started in Columbia SC and everything Bruce picked was GRRRREEEEAAAATTTT!

Among the attractions were The Columbia Zoo, Stumphouse Tunnel and the Duke Power Plant, The Zoo started Wisching You The Very Best Photography with a Llama photo. The pictures tell the story so take a look and enjoy the view.
