| Well the best laid plans and all that !!! We had a couple of days of fabulous sunshine and 80F temps while setting up camp at Crooked Creak RV Park then Hurricane Patricia hit Texas and overspilled to the east coast resulting in 3 days of torrential rain....but we are now making the most of a beautiful clear blue sky morning and heading out for some exercise....the autumnal colours are still very vibrant in this area... |
 |
| Whitewater Falls....this viewpoint is actually in North Carolina and 164 steps down to the viewing platform....this was after a mile hike... |
 |
| Apart from the good exercise it's well worth the decent..... |
 |
| Starting in NC this waterfall cascades down into South Carolina and are the highest falls in Eastern America.... |
 |
| A closer view of Whitewater Falls and rainbow..... |
 |
| This and next 2 pics are of Lake Jocassee from a scenic viewpoint on SR 107... |
 |
| Yorkieman discovered when talking to a local that the land surrounding Lake Jocassee was purchased by an entrepreneur to prevent housing development and was given as a land trust to the state..... |
 |
| Table Rock State Park and a revisit from our 2010 Big Road Trip....that time it was raining, today perfect weather.... |
 |
| Back at Camp Harris a stunning sunset..... |
 |
| 31st October....morning mist rising from Lake Keowee.... |
 |
| Day 2 of waterfalls and hiking, we're making the most of the good weather as more rain is forecast........ |
 |
| Yellow Branch Falls.... |
 |
| This is a revisit to these falls first visited in 2010....a good 2 miles hike over streams, elevation gain, narrow rooted trails but a very pretty hike and falls... |
 |
| After the exercise it's time for our lunch sandwich...... |
 |
| This and next pic taken from gazebo..... |
 |
| Monday 2nd November.....Day 2 of torrential rain !!!! Some of our songs from the past 2 days: I Love The Rainy Nights....Eddie Rabbitt... Listen To The Rhythm Of The Falling Rain...The Cascades Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head...B J Thomas.... Well on a wet wet day what else is there to do !! |
 |
| But we are not going to sign off from this trip's blog on a soggy note..... |
 |
| Well folks it's time for Yorkieman and Mrs Blogger to once more put their home on wheels into storage and head back to Blighty....we hear there are a lot of changes in our area and even the opening of a pub in walking distance from Harris Towers :) We have had another fabulous road trip, the fall colours were truly stunning... we are once more grateful for the opportunity to do what we are doing and meeting people We are going to spend some quality time with our good friends in Georgia before all being well flying back across the pond on the 9th November.... Until the next time it's over and out from The Very Wet but Very Happy Campers... |
