EDITORIAL NOTE: In this series of short videos running throughout the month of July, South Carolina leaders will briefly expound on their experiences along the trail during the fourth annual SOUTH CAROLINA SEVEN (SC7) expedition.

The month-long SC7 expedition – primarily hiking, but also rafting, kayaking, and SCUBA diving – begins in the Upstate, July 1, and will conclude in Beaufort and on Parris Island, July 30. Along the way, global expedition leader Dr. Tom Mullikin and other experts will be showcasing the state’s seven geographic wonders exploring, observing, and teaching along a unique trek closely paralleling several hundred miles of the famed Palmetto Trail from the mountains to the sea.

In today’s “SC7 minute,” Col. (Ret.) Steve Vitali, U.S. Marine Corps, encourages South Carolinians and others to participate in the July 1-30 expedition across the state. Speaking from the trail on the famed Enoree Passage in Laurens County, S.C., Col. Vitali discusses how discovering the Palmetto State’s seven “geographic wonders” takes him back to his youth and so much more.
