The Anderson County Museum was an unexpected "find" on our trip through the area. It is charming, well laid out, and full of beautiful exhibits. We spent about two hours there and could've stayed longer except we needed to be on our way elsewhere. And it's free (donations gratefully accepted.)

We were camping at the KOA campground and had a couple of hours to spare so we decide to visit Split Creek Farm. We listen to some facts about goats that they were telling to a school group. and then we went around by ourselves. We saw some of the goats that were young and able to pet the older goats. Bought some goat fudge at the store And enjoyable hour.

This Distillery is nice and friendly. They have a taste testing area. I would recommend the margarita; it was very good.

The park staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! The camp sites are a bit close together and the ones that are not tent-only may not have great places to put tents (coarse gravel, not much level ground). But the restrooms were very clean, and we had a great time. There is plenty of deadfall wood, so if you bring a camp saw or axe, you can easily pull together enough wood for a nice fire. We went in late October and were surprised how nice the water was for swimming. If you have a canoe or kayak, definitely bring it along and enjoy the beautiful lake. Explore the islands, or paddle across to Georgia! Saw several deer and a hawk. Wish we could have extended our time.

We flew into Myrtle Beach last Sunday morning and were early enough to find a church to visit. Newspring takes GREAT care of their visitors. Worship was amazing and Pastor Brad gave an excellent message. Very similar to our home church, Grace, in Wooster, OH.
