Below: The two RV Gypsies did not eat at Mellow Mushroom, but they liked the big rooster outside of the building, so Karen Duquette took a couple of quick photos as they drove by. Notice the person in the first photo - that tells you how tall the rooster is.

Below: The two RV Gypsies briefly walked around the grounds of The South Carolina State House because they had some time to spare before going to The Monster Jam, so they only took a few photos. But they were also here in April of 2022, and at that time they took a lot more photos which can be seen through the link at the bottom of this page and that page is highly recommended. After going there, you will find a link at the bottom of that page to take you back here so you can continue the 2023 adventures.
