Friday 20th July.....The Final Tow of Our Travels....Chattanooga, TN to West Union, SC...

Well this is it....we are "On The Road Again" as we head out from Chattanooga, Tennessee on US64/74 east to our final destination and back to the beginning at Lake Keowee, South Carolina...
It's a very pretty drive through the Sugarloaf Mountain range and along the side of Lake Ocoee....
A nice pull out spot for coffee and cookies...
The road is winding and quite narrow but doable...
The Ocoee River is on the right behind the trees but sorry I wasn't able to get any pics and on this stretch although there were some pullouts they were full of the old school buses that "ferry" all of the whitewater rafters to the river.....it's very big business on this stretch of the river we have never seen so many rafts at one time in a river....but take my word for it the drive was very pretty...
We did cross into Georgia again before North Carolina....
Then into South Carolina....
And once more onto The Cherokee Scenic Highway to Westminster....
And back to the beginning and our final destination..
This is our 5th stay at this park having first stayed here in 2010 when we hired a camper to see if we would like this sort of life and travels....
5th July 2012....
20th July 2018.... 
This majestic guy was soaring above us as we arrived.....

We love this RV Park and Kathy has allocated us a great spot down by the lake, more on that in the next post, our 6 year story is not quite over....
For now Yorkieman is enjoying a well done rest and some amber liquid, ha ha and it's not a cup of tea !!!
Until the next post..

  2. Ahh! Love the nostalgia! Nothing has changed, apart from Yorkieman's tee shirt and the size of his stomach, but that's probably the angle of the photograph...... I don't know Mike, you pay perfectly good money for a photographer, you'd think they'd capture your best side!
