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.
