Carolina in The Morning ...

 "Nothing could be finer 
    than to be in Carolina in the morning ..."
                    ~
                   "Carolina In The Morning"

The opening lines to the 1922 song come to life on a beautiful November morning at the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, a 4, 053-acre national wildlife refuge located in Beaufort County, South Carolina, between the mainland and Hilton Head. 

Pinckney Island NWR, established December 4, 1975, was once included in the plantation of Major General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a prominent lawyer active in South Carolina politics from 1801-1815.
