Lake Keowee,SC & Cornelia,GA......13th to 27th May 2015

Lake Keowee & our home for the next 6 days to sort out service needs on the trailer and as it it getting near the end of this  adventure prepare the trailer for storage...

Sunrise over the campsite at Lake Keowee....

Last day at the lake which had been the usual beautiful blue skies and suddenly storm clouds but didn't amount to much but does show how quickly they can appear !!
19th May and on the road towing our home on wheels for the last time this trip back into Georgia to storage at the Lake Lanier area.....sadly we're not happy with the storage (long story) but not a lot we can do at this stage and just have to hope for the best...
Well it has been an interesting journey from West to East....more difficult decisions to make than we would have liked but on the whole an enjoyable trip....we are now going to spend the next week with our good friends in Cornelia a great way to round off this trip....
Sorry but this is one of my favourite water-towers....
Our favourite view from Bill & Myra's back deck...
Clarkesville....the county seat of Habersham County...
The Big Apple at Cornelia Railroad Depot.....
One for me a railroad and a water-tower....
A scenic spot on the road to Janis & Jimmy's lake house on Lake Burton where we will be spending the Memorial Weekend...
One view from J & J's lake house across Lake Burton.... 
The new boat dock/deck....
Not all houses are on the lake...not sure I'd like the drive up to this one but the view must be spectacular...
Blooming Mountain Laurel....a cross between our azaleas and rhododendrons ...
This area was devastated in 2013 by a tornado...amazing how quickly the vegetation has regrown and the houses rebuilt...

Late evening sitting up on the boat deck with friends, wine and a neat gas fire pit...
It's been a great weekend at the lake and time to sample Jimmy's malt collection.....our "Maxxium" friends will like that Michael finishes of the evening with a scotch/malt tasting and talk.......
Well folks it's time for me to sign off from this blog....today we head for Atlanta airport and our flight back to Blighty....all being well we will see family & friends soon...
We have driven 5180 miles, of course not all towing, seen interesting sights met up with old friends and had another great trip.....until the next time it's bye for now from
The Travelling Brits....

  1. Hi Sue & Michael,
    Well all good things come to an end. Good to see that Michael is still educating people on the merits of a good malt.
    I`m sure the storage will work out ok.
    Have a safe journey home,and savour your trips memories.
    All the best.
