Cleveland South Carolina Area
We arrived after a pleasant drive - part interstate part US highway. Of course, the GPS issue again but we did not have to go far to get turned around.
Solitude Point Cabins and RV Park
I read on the internet that this is one of the best kept secrets of a serene campground and I certainly believe it! We had a great site - they all are here!
This is a small park - just eleven RV sites and six cabins (all with hot tubs). It is nestled in the woods and each site is wooded. They even have a Dish and a DirectTV Satellite at the sites so all we had to do was plug in.
Two of the cabins
There is a creek that runs through it from the Little Saluda River
Each site has his own fire pit
With a great front porch
The gathering place
Bath house - small but immaculate
The laundry room
For the kiddos
And even the big kids
Across the road, access to the Little Saluda River
Canoes available to rent
Big Bob says and I agree, this is the best place we have camped (wexcept for Ft Wilderness - you can't beat Disney)! The campground just makes you want to chill out and relax and we did!
We did do a little exploring though; the campground is located within an hour's drive of lots of places.
We also had a visitor. We were just 1 1/2 hr. away from Otto, so my Bestie Maggie came over for a visit! Although it had only been 2 weeks since I saw her last, it was sooo nice!
Caesars Head State Park
This campground is about seven miles from the State Park.
What views there! From the scenic overlook you can see Campbell, Paris, Raven Cliff, Pinnacle, Table Rock, Stool and Glassy Mountains, Piedmont, the Dismal Forest, and the Table Rock Reservoir.
Views as we adventured about
South Carolina
Harley Dealers - We made a trip to Anderson and Greenville - gotta get chips and shirts, and check out their stock. The impressive thing at Timms Harley in Anderson was that they give a special shirts to veterans. We have only visited two Harley shops that do that. What a nice thank you to our Veterans!
Travelers Rest - very cute area. We went through it going to and from Greenville. They had a Publix and Big Bob was sure they would have green peanuts, and they did! He stopped at every Boiled Peanut stand looking for them "done right" but they all used raw not green peanuts here and in NC they were selling boiled peanuts made with frozen ones. Once we got back from the store, he boiled them up and has been enjoying them the last few days.
North Carolina
Hendersonville - cute place, maybe a little too touristy cute but I would have liked to have more time there. These bears, all a little different, are all over downtown. The animal statues have been painted by local
artists and will be on Main Street all
summer and then they are auctioned off in October with half of the auction
proceeds going toward nonprofits and organizations associated with each
bear. The remaining half goes to Downtown Hendersonville to keep the
event going next year.
Brevard - Another cute place I would like to spend more time at. It definitely is a College of the Arts town.
Saluda - Small but cute. We ate at Green River BBQ and they had fresh collards cooked right (with ham hocks).
Love the signs for the bathroom doors
As much as I don't want to, we are heading home tomorrow. I can't find space anywhere for us in cool weather and we decided if we were going to sweat, we might as well do it at home. I'm hoping to get Big Bob fixed up fast and return in the fall!
