When
it gets hot on the coast, there's always the Upstate. A ready-made
escape from the heat and humidity, it's usually a much nicer place
to go in the summer. One of the best places to spend time is
way in the foothills, past Spartanburg and Greenville, with the mountains
in the background.

Roadside
waterfall,
Highway 11 in Greenville County,
S.C.
Just
east/north of the junction with U.S. Highway 25 in upper Greenville
County, Highway 11 runs alongside a modest waterfall, complete with
a cool shallow pond. A great place to stop and rest. There
I am, along with my daughter Cecilia, in some photos from the waterfall.

While
riding down SC 11, much of the north side of the highway is nothing
but the side of mountains. Here are a couple of them.
Strange
Lookin' Rock,
near Van Wyck, S.C.
Between
U.S. Highway 521 and the Catawba River, near the town of Van Wyck
in Lancaster County, is this old rock that looks like a granite version
of a mushroom. Didn't see any Deadheads around though ...
Small
town in Chester County,
Edgemoor, S.C.
Edgemoor
is a quiet little town on S.C. Route 901 in northern Chester County.
When I lived upstate, I used to enjoy running the roads a lot and
passed through here many a time. On the left is the old town
school, long since closed.
