Private Road (Barney Platts-Mills, 1971)

The second movie i've seen this week about a lazy, self-entitled wannabe writer with the surname Morrissey. A generation before, so punk isn't going to save this guy's life in time. Snapshot of counterculture sundries, wanting more, wanting out. Hard not to feel more sympathy for the people they put upon but it's all nicely and poignantly drawn. Typical, but maybe less so at its time of release.

Resolving Private Road Disputes: A Comprehensive Guide

Private roads offer several benefits for owners, including increased privacy, enhanced security and greater control over road maintenance. However, these benefits come with a unique set of challenges, particularly when disputes arise between neighbours or those living in the nearby area. Resolving private road disputes effectively requires understanding the legal, logistical, and personal aspects…

Today, on the 241st anniversary of John Laurens's death, @ciceroprofacto and I completed a trifecta of site visits related to Laurens's life and final days.

Site 1 (top 4 pictures): Sunrise at the Combahee River and surrounding lands

In the early hours of August 27, 1782, John Laurens fell in the Battle of the Combahee River, one of the final actions in the Revolutionary War. He was initially buried at the nearby Stock Plantation and was later interred at the Laurens family cemetery at Mepkin Plantation. We based some of our routes around these maps previously provided by @ouiouixmonami and @my-deer-friend. We couldn't directly access the point labeled as Tar Bluff as it was surrounded by private roads, but we were able to access a nearby boat launch. We also traveled through the Donnelly Wildlife Management Area as this may have been around the site of the previous Stock Plantation. It is located near a modern-day road called Stocks Creek Road.

Site 2 (middle picture): The Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC

Charles Fraser painted the shown portrait of John Laurens in 1805. Although it was not painted during John's life, it is my personal favorite Laurens portrait (out of the...3-4 that exist). It is not always on display, so I was excited to finally see it in person.

Site 3 (bottom 3 pictures): John Laurens's grave and surrounding landscape at Mepkin Abbey in Moncks Corner, SC

As previously mentioned, Laurens's body was moved from the Stock Plantation to his family's property at Mepkin Plantation. The property is now a Trappist monastery. There was only one other visitor when we stopped by, so it was very quiet and peaceful. The cross and American flag were already present at Laurens's grave. The land overlooks the Cooper River.

We have many more pictures that will probably be posted in multiple subsequent posts, but I wanted to post a concise compilation to commemorate Laurens's death.

Should I Get Insurance For A Private Road?

If you are part or full owner of a private stretch of road, you may be wondering what your responsibilities are as a landowner. Private roads, whether accessible to the public or kept closed off from all but those who live there, are as much a bit of owned land as any other stretch of field, brownfield, development sites and more. For this reason, it also comes with similar risks and needs for…
