This weekend, I'm on a road trip to a coin/stamp show in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm actually staying next door in Cary, which I was once told is an acronym for "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees."
My first stop on the way here on Friday was a sort of "bucket list" item. I had never visited South Carolina's only Indian (Native American) reservation, the Catawba reservation near Rock Hill, because it's significantly out of the way from the routes that I use for my regular day-trips to Charlotte NC. I chose my route to Raleigh specifically to include it.
The Catawba Cultural Center has exhibits about Catawba history and culture, and a gift shop with crafts by Catawba artists.
A trail leads down to the nearby Catawba River, about a mile, but I didn't try it because of heat and humidity. I'll keep it in mind for next fall, when I may be passing that way again.
