Head for the Hills!

It was brutally hot in Savannah so we headed for the hills for some relief. We got as far as Elijah Clark State Park, which is the US's second largest man-made lake. It was bliss to douse off in the cooling waters.

The next morning was a little cooler so I headed off on a run to explore the 3 mile loop, but ended up in the wrong camping loop so it ended up being a 13k jaunt. No stopping me getting in that water when I eventually got home (we have a new phrase: home is where we park it).

We crossed back into SC to visit another state park and test ourselves on the mountain bike track. We were dripping by the time we got the bikes off the back, but it was actually a relief to generate some breeze. Unfortunately the track was really badly marked and maintained so we bailed and back into the water for another cool down. The heat was starting to get to us so instead of hanging around as planned we put in a few miles heading towards the foothills and found a little camp spot in a National Forest by Brasstown Falls.もっと詳しく
