My son and a couple of buddies heading out on the lake out back to bag some dinner. Good thing I have a back up plan. 20150509_183107.jpg 20150509_183125.jpg
 
It is on Powell Road south of Crystal Springs in Garland County. Would give you the address if I knew it. But it is where Meyer Creek crosses Powell Road.
Not the place I'm thinking of, but dang sure looks the same....barn, house and road all look the same.
I guess this is a pretty common scene down some of the back roads around there though.
 
We spent part of Mother's Day on a brunch run and had a great time. Everywhere else I checked was booked but we docked without reservations at 12:30 and we were seated immediately, food was great and we made it home before 4.

I don't understand what is wrong with that picture? It looks like the boat is on the lift correctly to me, but it's hard to tell with just that one pic.....

Ain't it just a TAD bit HIGH off the water ? Like 8 feet or more too high ?
 
One of my Son's assignments was to write a poem (an Ode) about something that makes him happy without naming it directly. Here is the result: I thinkn I know what he is writing about, at least I hope I do.

@MikeyL do you also have a house on Lake Murray besides the one in Georgia or are you just visiting our wonderful lake?
I am just visiting. An incredibly beautiful lake. Water far clearer and cleaner than Oconee.
We are out on Shull Island, facing the BIG WATER view of this incredible body of water.
3 couples that love getting together, enjoying each other's company, watchin' me fish and not catch any fish ..............
You get the idea.

Nice, enjoy your friends and your time on Lake Murray.

If you want a nice cruise you should run up the lake and into the Saluda River. If the water in the river is high enough you can make it all the way to the backside of the Lake Greenwood dam.
 
Yesterday ............ Later afternoon ........... Too much "fun" with our Friends ........... Too much good food ........
So all 6 of us decided ............ <Drum roll>
To walk across the top of the Dreher Shoals Dam along S.C. Highway 6. It's a popular place for walking and jogging. The distance is 1.7 miles each way for a total walk of 3.4 miles.

Our path musta been different as the reliable Omron (that's "MORON" spelled backwards ... I can say having worked for them ........ LOL ~!) told us a hair shy of 4.50 miles ROUND TRIP.

The walkway offers spectacular views of Lake Murray and even the downtown Columbia skyline 11 miles away. This pathway was completed after the construction of the new backup dam at Dreher Shoals Dam on Lake Murray (in 2005) and with the widening of S.C. Highway 6 across the top of the dam (in 2007).
