Sights and Sounds Thirty-Eight

We spent the weekend in an region outside Aiken, SC called Horsecreek Valley. Dusti's mother's family all came from this area. It is known for all the textile mills that once were thriving but now all lay silent with locked gates. We shot some video and interviewed Uncle Chuck and WooWoo for our family documentary that we are putting together. It is quite an undertaking and will be a long haul but the stories we are capturing from our time spent with Dusti's family are great. Along with the footage and interviews we plan on shooting in the UK this Christmas we think this project is going to be quite special when it's finished.

Below are couple of images. One is the now derelict Vaucluse Mill which is where Dusti's Great Grandad worked. It closed a  while back but the post office is still open!
