South Carolina border - Fri, 22 Sep 2023. 2:50pm
The falls we're headed to next, Whitewater Falls, are near the South Carolina border, about 10 miles away. "I wonder if it's worth taking a dip into South Carolina on the way there or back," I mused.
The worth I was thinking of was my bucket list. One of my bucket list items is to visit all 50 states and D.C. Alas, I've already been to South Carolina— a few times!— so I don't get to cross anything off my bucket list by entering the state again. (I'm at 50/51, BTW. Alaska is the one state I haven't visited yet.)
But then a different argument for notching through South Carolina appeared. Given the order in which we're visiting waterfalls, and the lay of the roads in this area, the fastest driving route dropped down into SC for a few miles and then back into NC. So...

Let's visit South Carolina!
Now that we're here of course, the first thing we're going to do— after snapping obligatory pictures of the signs— is leave South Carolina. 🤣
