2.5 miles south of the town of Heath Springs, S.C. is a steep incline rising from the bed of a small creek. The slope is covered with huge boulders, the largest being balanced atop several smaller ones -- hence the name, Hanging Rock.
Somewhere in the immediate vicinity, blood was shed in 1780 on two seperate occasions. August 1, 1780, the British troops here were attacked by Davies Cavalry, and at dawn on August 6, 1780, a larger group of patriots led by Gen Sumter attacked and defeated a large garrison of British and Loyalist troops here.
It is said that these grounds are haunted by the many soldiers that lost their lives during the intense battles of the Revolutionary War.
While placing the cache, we did have the strange feeling that someone or something was watching us.
Could it have been the ghosts that are said to haunt the area? One may never know.
The cache is an ammo can. The find should be an easy one for all. Make sure to go out to the rocks and explore, but be careful.
Please be aware of your surroundings...there are rattlesnakes and copperheads in this area!
