491. Arsons Pay for Pepper Spray!
Another "travelin' light mini" planted in SC on the way home during our 2013 southern road trip

While passing through central Georgia on our way home from Florida after the long, cold winter of 2013, we thought that this time through the South it might be fun to stop briefly at a small mountain located shortly after crossing over the border into South Carolina near where we had spent a fun day letterboxing the year before.

Suddenly getting silly and shifting into a strangely distorted version of pig Latin, we found that we had an "ache to lay" a letterbox where "arsons pay". The pay gate was still seasonally locked, however, so we decided that it would be only "right" to put some "Tea" before "Our Road" (euphoniously, of course!;-), and then continue right to "A" Dead End. From there we headed northwesterly(?) down a somewhat muddy red chute, strolled around a good-sized lake, found a curious-looking tree with its roots sticking up into the air about 50 paces behind a low wooden bench (photo coming soon), did a short climb to find a very defunct latrine, and finally took the dead end road back to our car (c. 4-mile loop). If you don't want to do that whole loop, though, just go a few hundred feet down the way we started out our stroll, and you should see a cement topped bench off to the right above a considerably smaller body of water than the one we walked around. About 40 steps uphill behind this bench, you should be able to spot a multi-tree with a chunk of rock in the middle of the trunks. If you lift up the rock chunk, you should see a small 1-inch flat circular stone beneath. Turn over that small stone for a tiny bite of pepper (hopefully not a "hot one", so it won't burn your buds!;-)
