I finished exploring the lower Carolinas today--a road that was more like a jungle than a road. Like the other areas of lower Carolinas, there were no homes, just roads, lined with electrical poles and ready for lots and houses to be built--but no one there.
The climb up to even the lower part of the Carolinas is like walking up 'the hill' to the airport twice! I keep thinking there must be a road or trail to the top of the Carolinas (as there are some radio towers there), but so far I have not been able to find them. Considering how quickly the jungle retakes the land here, it wouldn't take long for any road or trail to disappear.
Most of the road was very thick with brush. I definitely needed my spider stick today! Whenever the brush is this thick, the spiders spin webs across the trail...I'm sure that I had my share of spiders attached to me, but, as long as they were just along for the ride, and not to feast, I don't notice at all.
My next walk will be up to the subdivision on Carolinas. I have been up there once (it is just below the water tower), but it is a tough climb. The last time I ventured there it took me a couple of days to recoup.
There is continued construction at the new park near the Dynasty Casino. They are building an amphitheater and additional picnic areas.

Having trekked over some of the same areas that Marines fought for control of during WW II, sometimes during training and sometimes just for my own education, one can only imagine the hardships and intestional fortitude that these brave men endured.
