Wait a sec.... does the Appalachian Trail even go through South Carolina? :unsure:

I know it passes through the Smokies, and if it continues down that corridor it would not pass within South Carolina.

I think that governors are allowed to leave their states. The article said the last trace of him was a cell phone signal near Atlanta, so he was probably going through the part of the trail in the Turner Field region.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Anywhere in the eastern US however...
:lol: There's plenty of wilderness in the eastern US.  The eastern US is not just the Boston-Washington urban corridor. :contract:

I'm thinking your definition of "wilderness" is a bit different from Dudley Do-right's ;)

And FWIW, I'd say there's relatively little wilderness east of the Rocky Mountains.

Not when there's work to do they aren't, dammit!  Roll those sleeves up and get back to work pretending you're working hard!  :mad:

I guess it depends on how you'd define 'wilderness'.  There is almost no 'untouched wilderness', yes, but there are plenty of large tracts where little to no humans live, such as in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Daniel Boone National Forest, the Everglades, etc.  To me those all count as wilderness.

Jenny Granholm never does things like this; South Carolina has all the luck.   :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Just because you call it wilderness doesn't make it so.

Anyway, I didn't take that pic, but I have plenty of pics from Kentucky and Tennessee that show vast forests practically untouched by man.  None of them are primeval forest, to be sure, but I mean human intrusion is very minimal these days.

I've been to Big South Fork National Recreation Area, the Great Smoky Mountains, and the Boone National Forest, among others.

Of course, you might also be able to argue that Mammoth Cave is a true wilderness of sorts. ^_^

Caliga, good picture of the Daniel Boone forest! I bet that would be a great place to put up a bunch of condos!!  ;)  Imagine the scenic vistas the owners would have!

To me, wilderness doesn't have to be "untouched", but protected, in that motor vehicles are prohibited, there are significant trees, wildlife, etc.
