Monday Motivation! and Happy Memorial Day!. God Bless those fallen soldiers who fought for our freedom 🙏🙏.

This lookout tower was in Mcleanville, SC, which I found by accident. I had no plans to drive through Mcleanville, but when my other plans fell through I told myself "I didnt drive this far just to turn around". I remembered that a friend kept telling me to see Mcleanville if I ever had the chance, so I did!. It was only another 20 minute drive, so why not?. Its a beautiful little area to drive through if you're ever close to it.
I saw a Village Museum on google maps and decided to check it out since it was on the water and would give me a good spot to fly, thats when I spotted the old rustic lookout tower. I ended up talking with a gentlemen for a hour before I flew my drone. Normally I would of been like "okay, have a nice day", however he was full of inspiration and wisdom, my ears were wide open.
At the end of the day it felt like I was suppose to end up in that spot. Do things really happen for a reason?, feel free to share a story with me that might of made you go "things happen for a reason".

The lookout Tower history: "The McClellanville Lookout Tower, built in 1940 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is a prominent coastal landmark. Famous for surviving Hurricane Hugo in 1989, it is historically significant as the first fire tower in South Carolina to be placed on the National Historic Lookout Register."

Shots at sunrise around the Jetty Beach at Huntington Beach State Park, its a spot I love to go to from time to time, its worth the long walk!. I love the picture of the two boats, it looks like they are racing out of the Jetty!.

I definitely need to go back to the Jetty beach at Huntington Beach State Park to make a better video 😂 but it gives you a good idea of why its so cool!. You can walk out into the ocean!. Its about a 25 min walk to the jetty, and thats if you're really walking!. Its so worth it though!.

The point in Garden City!, I absolutely love aerial shots. With a birds eye view anything is possible!, seeing the curvature of the coast is something else. Eventually I'd like to go back for the sunset!.

A great blue heron and an anhinga feasting on some breakfast!. The anhinga spears the fish with its sharp beak, and than flips the fish catching it, so they can swallow the fish whole. Next time I hope to get a video of it!.

An alligator getting ready to cross the road at Huntington Beach State Park. I had a nice video of him crawling up, but I screwed it up from walking backwards, so I just deleted it 😭.

Who loves Egrets?! They seem to be the most common bird at Huntington Beach State Park. Which picture do you like the most?.

Many people ask me "Are there alligators in SC?".
Yes, yes there is!, and Huntington Beach State Park is one of the best spots to see them. If you're from out of town and want to experience wildlife then this is the place for you!.
