Modoc Campground
April 11, 2014: We arrived at Modoc Campground late in the afternoon yesterday. It is a National Park campground with standard hook-ups (electric and water) so this is our first stop without sewer hook-up. Today we toured the area seeing the Thurmond Dam on the Savannah River. The dam, built from 1946-1954, created the J. Strom Thurmond Lake. Our campsite is located on the shore of this 72,000 acre lake with 1,200 miles of shoreline. We are in site 64, which is quite a nice site close to the water. If you come here to camp try for site 64, 29, or 30. Skipper is relaxed and enjoying the out of doors. The dogwood trees are in full bloom throughout the park. I've always loved the wild dogwoods blooming throughout the forests. We will leave this area on Tuesday morning, April 15th.

No leaving site #64 until you hike all 1,200 miles of shoreline. Also, what is the rug/tarp that seems to get rolled out for Skippy and Dad to sit on? We just got a little enclosed awning setup that attaches to the van for Jag and are still trying to sort out a ground mat.

It's an 8x20 patio mat we bought at RV General. You can get different kinds and sizes. It's vinyl so doesn't absorb water, but helps to keep the sand from being tracked in. We anchor it at the corners. Sorry, we won't be able to hike that far before leaving...ha,ha!
