Today, I drove down to Ninety Six to visit the Ninety Six National Historic Park. 

The town name of Ninety Six was given by early traders in the 1700's because of the estimated travel distance (96 miles) to the Cherokee Village of Keowee in upper SC. 

The Historic Park contains sunken roadbeds and the earthwork (no structure) of the star shaped British Star Fort.  A mile long paved path leads one to original features of the fort and what was once the town of Ninety Six (grass fields now). 

I also took a mile and half walk through the woods on the Gouedy Trail. 

A lovely afternoon for a hike.  I needed it to walk off the hamburger I had at the 96 Cheeseburger House.  Thanks, Larry, for the recommendation.
