The State has just posted an interview with Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), in which he discloses that he traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, not the Appalachian Trail.

Sanford, in an exclusive interview with The State Media Company, said he decided at the last minute to go to the South American country to recharge after a difficult legislative session in which he battled with lawmakers over how to spend federal stimulus money.
