Carolina Sandhills

I stopped for the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge sign in November 2025. Pine needles were everywhere, pinecones scattered all over the ground, and a woodpecker painted right on the sign. The trees behind it were just starting to turn. It was in the upper 60s, a little breezy, under a half-cloudy sky, with only a trace of light rain.

The refuge protects a stretch of longleaf pine and sandhills wildlife in South Carolina. I didn't need more than the sign and the pines for this one.
