Snow in the trees.

 

Airstreams on Ice

They keep better that way, right?

Happy New Year!

 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all our Palmetto Cove campers, friends, and family.  Wishing you all the best for a beautiful holiday and a joyful 2012.

Too cold to swim.

Sneaking in a few more off-topic photos for the off-season.  I couldn’t resist this one Jon took somewhere near Sydney.  It’s a winter shot, taken in August 2011 during the infamous escape to Australia.   Would you believe I just saw this picture today?  True story.

 

 

 

 

Off-Season – What Now?

What’s your favorite off-season vacation spot?  This photo’s from Garden City, just south of Myrtle Beach.  Very quiet, not at all like the crowds and craziness of summer.   Taken at the southern tip of the barrier island — the water you see is Murrells Inlet.

 

 

End of the Season.

Campground closes today.  Have a lovely winter, and we’ll see you April 1, 2012.

(Photoblog does not close, though it does slow down a smidge.  We have an assortment of off-season touring pics slated for this winter.)

 

Last Chance to Camp

This is the last camping weekend before we close for the season on November 15th.  Please make arrangements to winterize your unit if you are planning to store it on-site through the winter.

Blue Wall Section of the Palmetto Trail

Read about the Palmetto Trail here.

Junior tour guide says:

• It’s not too hard of a hike.  (Table Rock or something is a hard hike).
• Not very steep except for a tiny bit.
• 7 year-old carried a pack and did great.
• It took half an hour or less to get in to this view.
• There’s some different trails you can hike in a loop.
• Not even half-day hike for this section — hiked about an hour at the most on this outing, including loops.

Campground closes Nov. 15th.  Come camp one last time before hibernation.
