Road Trippin' Pt. 2

7.04.2014

What better way to celebrate July 4th on the blog than to feature more pictures from my mini road trip of the US?

Ridgeway, SC, the "World's Smallest Police Station." Apparently this was the town well before they built a police station over it in 1940.

In 1990, they expanded their police station and moved into a different space. See photo of new police station below.

God's Acre Healing Springs, SC. The spring water here was so good that we dumped out our store bought water, and filled up our bottles with the fresh spring water. Read more about God's Acre Healing Springs here.

We saw a lot of forest fires and burned down/charred land. I wondered the reason behind it. At one point, I thought that maybe people were starting fires to erase traces of meth labs. My imagination is running wild after too many episodes of Breaking Bad. My friends and I saw one fire up close and personal. We were freaking out at the blazing flames, rolling up the windows so the smoke wouldn't come into the car, and driving fast to get away, so it was difficult to focus on switching my camera settings to get a clear picture.
