Trip East - Modoc, SC

We head out early, gas up and get on the road.  Not long before we hit South Carolina.

and before you know it we get to the campground

We pull in and find our spot

Back in and get settled.

 Once again a waterfront site with a great view.

 

 

 Tucson looks out longingly at the water

 

 We take a walk and find a beach

 

A courtesy dock for loading boats

 

 

 

The campground is laid out on 3 peninsulas, we are on the longer middle one site 39

 

 

 

 

A walk down our Peninsula

 

and the end of our Peninsula - nice site but a bit of a problem turning around for us.

 

This is the only site with no water and electric

No big boats but mostly recreational and fishing

We take a short ride to go see the Thurmond Lake dam

 

 A nice visitor center.

Nice informational displays about the area

There are 13 campgrounds on the Lake with 554 total sites

We drive down to the Dam

 No water flowing today

 

 I try my hand at Fly-fishing.  Gary gets me set up

 

 

I dropped my line in the water to get some line out and immediately got a very small fish.   Let Tucson sniff it then let it go and no more bites for the rest of the day.

It's Gary's turn

Tucson wants Dad to catch a fish

No barges passing through but some planes

I think they've marked our spot

Weather is warming up and the turtles are out enjoying a conga line

a great stay.  The day before we leave it was a rainy morning.  There was one washer and dryer up at the bathhouse so I decided to do a load before we left for Myrtle Beach.  The coins wouldn't go in the slots so I went up to the Gate house to complain.  She said that they were free.  Just push the coin holder in with the lid down.  So I got 3 loads of laundry done!

Time to enjoy a fire our last evening!

Next stop Myrtle Beach
