Wednesday 13th May....Forsyth,GA to Lake Keowee, South Carolina..

We head north this morning on 83N a lovely scenic drive and one we would like to do again.....
Small hamlets and agriculture and fresh spring green colours...
Bradda Ed is still shaking his "booty" his skirt is shredding by the day, we need to make him a new one for our next road trip.....
Monticello, and what looks to be a small town like many others we have passed through on our travels...
But no the main road runs right "through" the town square much the same as Italy and Greece...we had been warned of this by our friend Bill thank goodness or we would have been seriously worried as the road was quite narrow....this photographer had to concentrate on navigating hence only a couple of pics...
We exited the square on the correct road...phew...
For water tower watchers. A short stubby one!!!!!

Sadly these photos do not show the blooms on this beautiful avenue of magnolia trees.....

Lunch sandwich at a rural fuel/truck stop....
We do smile in a nice way, every town no matter how small has antique shops.....


Prison detail vehicle .....We so wish we did this in UK......
And onto the I-85 !!! Thank you nice truck driver for letting us in and later for letting us move out to the outside lane when it went down to one lane......thankfully road works and not an accident...one of those moments too, as we came down the ramp onto the interstate the song playing is Willie Nelson's...On The Road again !!!
Amazingly this is our first traffic jam in 31,000 miles :) 
And back to South Carolina and on to the Cherokee Foothills Highway north....
Lake Hartwell....when we were her in 2012 the lake level was very low due to drought, good to see it has now risen to normal.... 
And here we are 3 years and some 30,000 miles later back full circle to The Crooked Creek RV Park on Lake Keowee, near Walhalla, SC...
It's a park we like, having stayed here when we hired the camper in 2010....
Driving distance not too far today and time to set up Camp Harris and for me to swim a few lengths of their large pool....then sundowners looking down on the lake...
More soon from The Very Mellow Campers.....
