Plantation River Tour

The Happy Travelers took a tour of the Plantations located on the Waccamaw River, old rice plantations. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the plantations, how much rice was produced, how many slaves were required to plant and harvest the rice, etc, as well as how they dug trenches around the fields and flooded them. Really remarkable.


There were many lovely homes along our tour of the Waccamaw River and the Great Pee Dee. Some you had to peek at through the trees and Spanish Moss but they were all quite impressive.





This area is called Sand Island, you can tell why.
Your Happy Travelers had a relaxing trip on the water ways....more later. Next week is the Greek Festival in Myrtle Beach.
