My last visit to Keowee-Toxaway State Park was back in 2003.  I decided that after 17 years it was a time for a return visit.

I also hiked a short section of the Palmetto trail that I have never done.

Amy decided to give me one of my Christmas presents early this year!

 

Early Christmas Gift from My Love!

 

I decided to break it in on a visit to Table Rock State Park in Pickens County, SC.  

Table Rock is practically in Kyle's backyard, so he and Sammy were able to join me on the day's adventure.

Rather than take the touristy trail to the summit of Table Rock, we decided to explore the CCC Climbers Trail.  We did not see a single other human during our entire time on the "trail".

Here are some photos from our adventure:
