Sometime in March, we sold our old Holiday travel trailer to a family in camp that needed something better than what they had. They knew we had ours in storage and asked if we would sell it to them. We weren't thinking of selling, but at that time, Bob was so sick, we didn't know if he would be up to traveling again, so we agreed to the sale. The family was very appreciative, and thankfully Bob recuperated enough that we want to take road trips again. After spending some nights in hotels during trips over the past year, we decided to look around for another small, used travel trailer. We found one at a dealership in Greer. It is a 2007 27 foot Jayco trailer, and it is in almost new condition inside. And after Bob did some work to the axles and springs on the undercarriage, it is like new on the outside as well. But, before we bought it, Bob had realized that the truck he bought last year would not be adequate to tow another trailer, so he traded it for a one ton Ram dualie --something he's always wanted. (Well, he also wanted another dog, but I don't. So, I told him he could get a dog or a dualie.) So, new truck and new-to-us travel trailer, we decided to go on a little outing to a nearby Army Corps of Engineer campground about 15 miles from here at Twin Lakes outside of Pendleton. We stayed there in November of 2014. With our America the Beautiful senior pass, camp sites are only $12.50/night. We were there for the 3 pm check in on Tuesday the 7th, and left on Friday the 10th. It was a very pleasant "stay-cation".

You betcha!
Each of the campsites offer a view of Lake Hartwell, a level, sometimes terraced, campsite with picnic table, bbq grill, and fire pit.
