Fair Play, SC

This morning we were awoken about 3 AM by the sound of thunder. It was still raining when we left Perry around 8 AM. At Macon we turned northeast on US 129 & US 441. In spite of the rain it was a beautiful drive through the rolling hills of the Oconee Nat. Forest. Leaving the forest we started seeing an occasional small dairy farm in the rolling tree covered hills. Before we reached Athens the rain stopped and we began to see light fog clouds drifting out of the trees in the valleys. It was really a beautiful site to see. The Azalea bushes along the route were in full bloom and completely covered with flowers. North of Athens we turned east on I-85 and are now at the Thousand Trails Carolina Landing RV Preserve just 4 miles into So. Carolina. It started raining shortly after we got set up and has rained all afternoon and evening. We are just to the south of the Smokey Mountains. I guess we must think we are made of sugar because we didn't venture out to explore the area this afternoon.
