SOUTH CAROLINA SEVEN 2021 at Kings Mountain Battlefield

Brig. Gen. Marie Goff talks from the trail

EDITORIAL NOTE: In this third of several short videos over the month of July, South Carolina leaders are briefly expounding on their experiences along the trail during the second annual SOUTH CAROLINA SEVEN (SC7) expedition.

The month-long SC7 expedition – primarily hiking, but also rafting, kayaking, and SCUBA diving – began in the Upstate, July 1, and will conclude in Charleston, July 30. Along the way, global expedition leader Tom Mullikin and other experts are showcasing the state’s seven geographic wonders explored and observed 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,” Brigadier General Darlene Marie Goff, S.C. Army National Guard (Ret.), discusses what makes SC7 unique and why it is important to create greater awareness of both what our state has to offer in terms of its myriad “geographic wonders” and how we protect these wonders going forward.

Brig. Gen. Goff is the first female brigadier general in the history of the S.C. National Guard.
