Eight state parks within a 2 hour drive? I'm a little jealous.

That's just South Carolina parks. I live near the Georgia border (and Savannah is an hour away) so I've Georgia state parks around Savannah as well. Charleston also is just an hour and half or so away, so I've the cities and Charleston and Savannah. Then there are also a couple National Monuments around too. . .and a National Park near the capital of Columbia which is a little over 2 hours away. . .

That's a lovely shot ... and so very far removed from what I see out here.

I glad you enjoyed your visit to Rivers Bridge. I really like the Salkehatchie picture. Since you are taking pictures here and at other South Carolina State Parks I thought I would let you know about a Photo Contest we are having for our 75th anniversary.
