Leg 301, Palatka, Putnam County, Florida to Lesesne, Berkeley County, South Carolina, USA
DAY06_18.PLN (15.3 KB)
Early start, long flight, many stops, lots to see. I never really looked at the east coast of the USA and always assumed it was like the west coast, but it’s nothing like that. Very fragmented with islands acting as buffers in the tidal zone, pretty much all up South Carolina.
