Still Gravity

The main attraction is the bold summit of Table Rock Mountain -  License our images here .         Probably the most beautiful state park in South Carolina - IMHO. An error in Google Maps caused a big detour to reach Table Rock. A ranger told us that this is very common.  We got a good campsite in the higher area of the campground. It was sloped, but we compensated with the recovery tracks.  Our campsite in Table Rock state park.  We took a peek of the nearby Palmetto Trail, but it was too late for a hike. The chilly night got us cooking. No campfire today, just food and bed. Next day, we did a relaxed hike in the Carrick Creek Loop.  There are nice and cold creeks in these mountains.  This trail follow

The Georgian sunset at Fort McAllister - License our images  here .         Fall camping in Savage Island, the campground of  Fort McAllister. This place is surrounded by rivers, marshes, deer, armadillos and, of course, lush vegetation.  Mosquitoes and no-see-um are the lords of the sunsets, but the cold nights of the fall throw them away. The wildness of Savage Island.  The focal point of the park is the Confederate fort. It defended Savannah from Union forces during the Civil War, together with Fort James Jackson and Fort Pulaski. But Fort McAllister saw most of the action. General Sherman witnessed the Union attack from the other side of the river. A walk through the perimeter: Cannons and palisades.  Check this short video from our stay.
