My weekend...............

Spent the weekend in South Carolina, home of great bloggers and
wonderful adventures.  An old college friend has a place on Lake
Keowee in Upstate South Carolina.  Lake Keowee is a man-
made marvel, created, I suspect, by Duke Power to provide a
source of cooling water for its nuke plants.  I would guess that
some hydro-electric and recreational benefits are being reaped as
well.  With lots of fingers and coves, the lake has over 300 miles
of shore line and has a surface of more than 18,300 acres.  Pretty
fair sized body of  water.  I had always thought of South Carolina
as being flat.  That would be wrong.  It is pretty, though.

























A few of us gathered for some fun and fellowship.  Remind me
next year to pass on the water skiing.

Instruments of fun or tools of our destruction?



A beautiful day for a leisurely boat ride












The day was tired and so were we


Tired, but not too tired for steaks from the grill.  Yum!
























A good time was had by all.
