Geocache Description:

Beautiful mural of Francis Marion (the Swampfox) about to attack the British in the swamp. LARGE picture and a great site for a photo.

This is one of the new murals in Clarendon County honoring Francis Marion (the Swampfox), who got his name fighting the British in Clarendon County and neighboring counties. A lot of people have been stopping to get their pictures in front of it so I thought it might make a good geocache.

There is parking at the coordinates given. Take a few minutes to check out some of the other nearby caches if you have not found them yet.

To log your visit, please try to post a picture of you in front of the mural (or a part of it). The pictures above show the plague about the mural and a very small portion of it. Note that the "British" dragoons are correctly wearing green and you cannot see Francis Marion in this portion of the picture (just as the British could not). If you want to see him and his men, you'll just have to find the cache! But I promise you will not get ambushed.

Hopefully this one is easy enough to let people get a good start into geocaching.

ENJOY! If you do not have a camera or cannot post a picture, it is no problem at all. Just be on your honor. The point is to have fun so don't let lack of a picture present a challenge for you. Thanks!
