#1: General Location, Shadow on ditchbank next to trees

(visited by David Allen Marshburn)

23-Apr-2001 -- As a believer in Destiny, and one of those folks who actually gets a kick out of watching the odometer turn over, I knew that it was my obligation to pick up at least one confluence on a recent trip to Atlanta. The chances of my seeing the USA Today article just a few days before my trip through one of the few areas on the east coast of the US where there were unpictured confluences was more than a coincidence. As my fate had already been determined, and knowing that a couple of other folks may have seen the article, I took a brief detour. I found the location fairly easily on the ditch bank of a dirt road (Bluegrass Road) just west of Gurley, SC and SW of Loris, SC. I tried to park close enough on the narrow dirt road so that I did not have to walk too far. I just had to stay clear of the guy operating the road grader. I didn't have to present my permission request to anyone as there appeared to be no one home at the house up the street. I did have to exchange pleasantries with the guard dog however.
