Wednesday morning we gat a chance to go kayaking before the wind came up. We had a great time and saw lots of birds and ducks. Later in the day we went hiking.
This was our campsite at Winn Campground. We were all by ourselves and it was beautiful.
Our second Granddaughter, Mackenzie, had her second birthday this month. It is hard to believe that they are all growing up so fast..JPG)
A group of about 25 from St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church went up to Montlure Presbyterian Church Camp in Greer to ready the camp for the summer sessions. We have done this for the past three years and it is very rewarding. This year along with the ususal plumbing, electrical and carpentry work we needed to clean up the down trees from the hard winter this year..JPG)
All of this had to be hauled to the local dump for pine needles and tree limbs in the area..JPG)
On Sunday we meet Steve and Randa Gick who were camping nearby and went for a great hike. As you can see there is still a lot of snow in the area.
We went to Tennessee one day to hike along the stream where the Olympic Whitewater competition was held. There is a controlled release but the water was low when we were there.
This is part of Amacola Falls (throught to be the highest falls in the East). We were able to climb up along the falls. This Georgia State Park is the start of the Applachian Trail.
The day after the party we went to visit Eden Plantation. It was built in the 1890's and was restored in the 1930's. It was given to the state of Florida in the 60's. It isw a beautiful place to visit. This is Willie, Carol, Pam & Dillis and the two babies, Zack and Emmy.
Monday we moved on to the North Georgia Mountains and this is the view from the beautiful cabin that we have there.
Thr main reason for this trip was Dillis' birthday. As usual, Dillis got a unique gift from Tom Barker.
It was a great party, lots fun and the guys had fun visiting with lots of the old work folks.
