Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

Beaufort South Carolina, Spanish Moss Trail

Yes, we did bike another fabulous trail on our 2nd day, staying at the Savannah Hyatt Place which is very close to the border of South Carolina.
Here husband Pieter is on his bike, next to the SPANISH MOSS TRAIL sign - click on pink hyperlink.
And the reason for the name of SPANISH MOSS, you can see to the right from Pieter, hanging from the trees!
The start of the trail is NOT easy to find with address for GPS but we found it:
1709 W Vine Rd, Beaufort, SC 29935, United States.
That made for a perfect start and nice parking spot for our car and we started going north.
Renovated Old Railroad Depot that you ride through or around optional.
Here Pieter is also holding my bike while I take this photo.
Looking over the marshes alongside Battery Creek.
We did not bike the entire trail as there are only benches along the trail but no restaurants or anything for a nice break.
My wicker basket (used for Mauzie my dachshund in the past) is great for having bottled water and some snacks!
Yes, you bike past this sign about Elliot and Fuller Tract A Protected Forest where you can see pictures of Beaufort Spanish Moss Trail's Flora & Fauna.
Alongside the parking there was this mighty southern live oak and it is full with Spanish Moss!
It is impossible to capture this type of southern live oaks.
They stay green year round and that gives the south its charm!
Thanks for joining us onto this unique trail in Beaufort, South Carolina.
We have been so very lucky as on October 27 when we rode the Sea Pines Resort Bike Trail and on the 28th this Spanish Moss Trail, it was perfect weather.
The next day they had GALE WARNING and very strong winds of 40 km/h so not ideal for biking!
Temperatrues in C are still very pleasant for November.
  That's the bonus of living in the South.

  1. The oak is amazingly big. Temperatures are still proper for your bicycle riding. We have had extreme heat here, such as 35-37℃.

    1. Dearest RTC.,
      Yes, some of those live oak trees are humongous and an asset to the surrounding with their evergreen leaves.
      It has not been that hot here this summer due to lots of rain and that cools down quite a bit.

  2. Hello Mariette, You are so right about the atmospheric live oaks with Spanish moss being emblematic of the South. Clarence Laughlin, whom I believe we have talked about before, often pictured them in his evocative Southern photography.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Oh they sure are and they liven up the sight of so many historic centers here in the South.
      Yes, I do remember photographer Clarence Laughlin and e.g. his ghostly photo of Oak Alley Plantation in Louisiana is a perfect example of it.

      Yes, those live oak trees are one of the biggest assets to the South and make it look even more exotic.

  7. Hey there! This just caught dad's attention as he and mom used to live down in beautiful Beaufort. They loved the area, but the job didn't work out. I'm sure they'll get back to visit at some point. Enjoy your Sunday.

  8. Beautiful landscape with Spanish Moss! What a pleasant bike trip you enjoyed. But yes, strong wind is not ideal for bike. It reminds me of my school years when I rode bike to school.Area I lived is famous for strong wind in winter. It was very challenging to go to school :-)
    Have a great day, Mariette xo

    1. Dearest Tamago,
      The Spanish Moss always softens the area and makes things look special.
      Oh, back in the Netherlands we often had strong winds and stormy weather in the fall and winter as well, so we know how hard that is to bike through.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  9. Glad you are enjoying the sights of the Carolina's. So much to see. In Texas and surrounding locations, there is lots of moss on the trees, especially in Louisiana. Always enjoy your visit.

    1. Dearest Debbie,
      The South is very special and you are so right about there is so much of this huge country to yet see!
      We have not been able to see it all, our wallet is not as big as the country-size is but even on photos or videos one can indulge!
