Congaree National Park

Congaree National Park is the only National Park in SC.  We saw a cypress that was 800 years old!  I liked the ranger's explanation of the root system.  The "knees" of a cypress help it "balance."  During a hurricane, cypress trees are less likely to fall over because of their great foundation!  It was a cool, sunny day and a great day to be out in the big, wide world.
