No worries, Bob. We're fully obligated with eldercare so can't do much prior planning anymore. Once things were settled with my mother this morning, a limited day trip like this was feasible.
After lunch, we went by Stumphouse Tunnel and Issaqueena (sp?) Falls in nearby Sumter Forest. Enjoyed that too. Oct 17 won't work for us.
As far as roads- SC 24 from around I-85 to SC 11 is nearly all new pavement and gorgeous. We came home on SC 11, which is as good as always.
