We went back to the West Dam area, that’s where we found beach areas for Skye to swim a couple days ago. They had told us that the trail was functional even if not officially open. We found that to be true! And since the trail follows the lakeshore Skye had numerous opportunities to swim. Of course she took all of them!
The trail showed signs of having been hot by Helene and also having logging right up to the edge of the trail. And sometimes right over the trail. The trail actually uses log roads in places, maybe i should say the log roads used the trail. Following the Topo Maps + app and walking the log roads they matched perfectly. It might be part of the plan, the log roads are now the trail.
Back at camp later I put the repaired tire back on the trailer and did some packing. That sentence was good for an hour’s work.
Tomorrow we move over to Givhans Ferry State Park in SC for several days and the South Carolina State Shoot. We’ll meet a few friends there too. It’s the closest campground to the shoot so there should be plenty of cowboys around! It’s about 150 miles from here so we should be in fairly early afternoon.
We are trying to keep track of the Artemis mission during days of doing other things. I see they have surpassed the farthest distance from Earth record today. That’s a fine milestone all by itself. Naturally it’s a record setting flight. Christina Koch is setting records for every single thing she does since leaving earth orbit!
Got to talking with the neighbor tonight. They live near Savannah and come here about twice a month for several years. He stores a boat and a golf cart here. Says the lake is often this level this late in winter but it fills up during the spring/summer. Although this is a big drought now. He figures this is down maybe 7’ now but he has seen it down 25’. At that point some of the town that was flooded by the reservoir becomes visible again. He says that’s a bit spooky.
