USA Today put out a list of at least on thing, of extreme interest, to do in each of the 50 states that was FREE. SC’s “thing to do” was Stumphouse Mountain and Issaquenna Falls.
Stumphouse Tunnel and Issaqueena Falls in the Blue Ridge foothills an hour east of Greenville make a cool two-fer on hot summer days. The 1,600-foot tunnel, whose construction was cut short by the Civil War, was used in the '50s to cure blue cheese. Nearby, accessible Issaqueena Falls cascades 200 feet and comes with its own Indian maiden legend. 864-646-3782, www.oconeecountry.com — By Jayne Clark USA Today
In Georgia that honor fell to BabyLand General Hospital in Cleveland - They may be turning 25 this year, but the Cabbage Patch Kids haven't aged a day since creating a frenzy at toy stores nationwide when they were first mass-marketed in 1983-84. About 120 million "adoptions" later, a new BabyLand General Hospital in Cleveland, 1½ hours north of Atlanta, is due this fall. (Meanwhile, the original birthing center nearby remains open.) The tours may be free, but the kids aren't. Some of the original soft-sculpture babes have been "re-adopted" for up to $50,000. 706-865-2171, www.cabbagepatchkids.com — By Jayne Clark USA Today
Check out the website and the list from the other 49 states. Very interesting.
