Gone!

As evening approaches along with light drizzling rainfall, note: the red & white thermos jug someone who stopped had left (previous photo: Moody Spring) is gone: I hope they came and retrieved it!

 

Speaking of disappearing, in the 1950s Larry Stevens, a pilot from the Upstate, crashed near the spring on a rainy night; local legend & lore claim his ghost waits for rides along this stretch of SC Highway 107 in the Sumter National Forest between Moody Spring and Wigington Overlook: his apparition is said to appear after nightfall in the rain or fog, leaving a pool of water in the car of those who dare to give him a ride – and when he's dropped off, he just disappears
