Needless to say – dadgummit I did it again. If it were needless to say I wouldn’t say it so – I mean needed to say, the raging forest fires in the area aren’t helping us enjoy the beautiful colors of the season, not to mention causing some of us to run for our lives. We were […]

Another beautiful week of weather! As we sit here enjoying yet another day with highs in the low 70’s and leaves bursting with color, I can’t help but think what a wonderful time of year this is around Lake Keowee. Fortunately for us, quite a few others seem to agree as we’ve put another house […]

Fun-filled weekend on Lakes Keowee and Jocassee this weekend as temperatures climbed back up into the low 80’s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Talk about extending the Lake Keowee season (jealous much?)! I’m sure we put at least an extra 12 hours of run time on the boat and jet skis. Needless to say (I […]
