South Carolina Bucket List
Hi friends! Today I’m sharing our South Carolina Bucket List. I know I’ve said it before, but I love the position that we’re in – getting to move all around the country and explore different areas. Knowing that we’ll only live here for a relatively short amount of time gives more of a deadline and gives us motivation to use our free time to visit nearby places. I’ve spent quite a bit of time searching different websites, and have come up with our official bucket list for while we’re here. Of course, I’m expecting the list to continue getting bigger the longer that we’re here. That’s just the way it goes – we go visit one place, then hear about 3 other places we NEED to see. But here’s where we are now: I’ve split this list into 3 sections – one for our hometown, one for the state, and one for the region. I can tell you right now that a lot of what we want to see is on the opposite side of the state and will be harder to get to, but we’re definitely going to try to take any chance we get to go there because we really miss hiking in real mountains!
I started this list a few weeks ago, so we’ve already been to some of these – I’ll update the list and add links to posts of the places we go as time goes on! If you know of something we should add, please let me know! We specifically like places that include hiking or history. 🙂

Oh, and one goal we have is to visit every county in SC. We visited every county in AZ, will we be able to do that in a smaller state with over 3 times as many counties?? 🙂
What else do we need on our list??
