This OLLI class took me to the Nemours Plantation in Yemassie, SC. This 10,000 acre site is not open to the public, so I was thrilled to get to see it. They have eight miles on a river and at one time it was a rice plantation. Now the land is owned by a private foundation and dedicated to preserving the ecology and doing research. We had an orientation and then loaded in the backs of pickup trucks where we held on for dear life and were attacked by vicious mosquitos. We saw a huge eagle's nest with a chick. Click to enlarge and see him. The marshes had many varieties of ducks and water birds. We visited an old house, chimney and beautiful live oak trees. A great excursion with friends Sue & Bob Wiener and Carol & Arnold Seidman.
