I tuned into my kids’ favorite radio station a few days back and was pleased to not hear any tripe being pushed on us by the music industry that would basically include little more than a drum machine and insanely moronic lyrics. It’s actually an adult hits station local to the Lake Keowee area (I’ve […]

It KEEPS raining! Wow, Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee and South Carolina in general are getting the next decade’s rations of rainfall. While it’s not raining pitchforks, we are still coming off this week and a half of the wet stuff with only a short respite before it begins again. The good news was the rain stopped […]

In the not too distant days of yore, we here in the Lake Keowee and Jocassee area of beautiful Upstate South Carolina lived under drought conditions for months (years?) on end. I think it’s safe to say that as of this exact moment, we can lift the red flag and declare our area drought-free. I have […]

These titles describe a good portion of fall around here but what they fail to convey is that it’s peak leaf season! I love driving around with the kids and pointing out all of the beautiful trees decked out in full eye-popping splendor. It’s a veritable cornucopia of glorious shades and hues all throughout the forest. […]

I absolutely love this time of year on Lake Keowee; fall features the best days for gawking at the most beautiful scenery you can imagine… and it’s right outside! Genuine Ultra High Definition! For you folks stuck in the city, I strain at the leash of the English language to explain what you are missing, […]

Man it is SPECTACULAR around Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee right now. The leaves are starting to change and the temperatures are getting lower in the evenings causing the water vapor to rise off of the lake in the morning – again, just plain beautiful. I must say though it is a great time to look […]

First and foremost, wedd like to take a solemn moment to send our thoughts and prayers out to those struggling through the aftermath of the rain event South Carolina experienced over the last several days. In the Lowcountry where we grew up and in the Midlands the effects are being felt much more severely than […]

That’s what kind of college football we’ve got going up in the Lake Keowee real estate area. Clemson plays host to Notre Dame this weekend and will host ESPN’s College Game Day. Many fans, including myself, see this as one of the biggest games in the history of Clemson’s Death Valley (as ticket prices attest). […]

In the paper this morning there was an article, “Lake Keowee winery, mixed-use plans draw interest”. Russ Gardiner is working on creating a development in Salem that will combine “a winery, restaurant, equestrian center, cottages for overnight stays and the opportunity for the public to buy a certain number of homes available on approximately 20 […]

And soon… We are starting to see the first colors pop out on some of the “early defoliators” (which is smart tree personspeak for “the leaves are about bust out!)”. You can just feel it is going to be a spectacular fall color season. This morning you could see the mist above Lake Keowee swirling […]
