Yemassee and Old Sheldon Church, SC

On the way back from Hunting Island, we took Alternate 17 and ended up in the old part of Yemassee.  On the way back to our campground, we caught a glimpse of what at first looked like an American Stonehedge.  Bob found a place to turn the truck around,  and we went back to the site which turned out to be the ruins of the Old Sheldon Church.  There was a spectral feel to it,  probably due to the old tombs in the hallowed ground. The grave of William Bull, who helped plan Savannah, and who was the Lt Governor of SC in the 1700's, was inside the church, and others were around the property.
