While doing research for another post I stumbled upon some new places in South Carolina that are abandoned. In doing so, I decided to share this first website I came upon because it has a eight places I’ve yet to discover which is surprising to me because I’ve explored many, many areas of SC and I didn’t think there were any places left that were actually abandoned. I’ve explored every haunted place I can find, state parks, back roads, historical sites, lakes, rivers and anything else I’ve read about online that make SC interesting. So finding some new places is exciting for me because sometime next year when I get a break I will go to South Carolina briefly but my destination is Georgia and Florida. 

There are some really interesting abandoned places to visit that I’ve yet to explore and the only reason for that is I’ve just never googled it I guess. At least not for a really long time. But I have to put some of these places on my bucket list to visit although some of the blogs don’t give very good directions on how to get there and some give no idea where they’re located. I’ve spent hours in the past trying to figure out where something is and I no longer do that. If I can’t find the directions through google maps relatively easily then I go to something else and there are plenty of parks, lakes, rivers, historical sites, battlefields, etc. that I can see and photograph and often along the way I find many old houses to take pictures of.

This post basically segues from my other post on an Abandoned House in SC Road Trip and while looking at websites to add content and update that post I found some new abandoned places to visit in SC when I get a break of taking care of my aunt here in Memphis.

Here’s a good book on abandoned places in South Carolina. SC isn’t a huge state but there are a lot of cool places to visit. I like many different things such as lakes, rivers, parks, recreation areas, historical sites, museums, haunted places and abandoned houses. There are also a lot of small towns to visit too. I like Myrtle Beach but my favorite place is Summerville which isn’t too far from Charleston. The last time I was in Charleston I had to leave early because it started raining and it often floods.

Traveling down US route 17 is one of my favorite drives and it connects Myrtle Beach SC and Wilmington NC and it’s a nice long scenic drive and if you stay on US highway 17 south you’ll end up in Charleston fairly quickly. One time years ago, I was leaving Georgetown and a few miles outside of town it started raining heavily and my windshield wiper motor stopped working and I couldn’t see to turn around. I had to pull over a number of times but I made it to a Walmart on the outskirts of Charleston but the next day I ended up having to drive back to Myrtle Beach to get my car repaired because when I called around a dealership there was able to squeeze me in at 10 AM. It took about two hours and $160 to fix the motor. But I felt like an idiot having to drive that 45 minutes all over again.
