Almost every site in this campground is on the lake. Oddly, the entrance gate is locked every night at 10pm. But the trees and lake are beautiful! Peaceful and fullnof birds!

Attakulla Lodge, an old hotel, is still standing at the bottom of Lake Jocassee, under 300 feet of water. You can  dive here and see a gas station and the cemetery.
Construction on Stumphouse tunnel began in 1856 when the George Collyer Company of London brought many Irish workers into the area for this project. Many of the workers lived in housing on top of Stumphouse mountain called Tunnel Hill. It is amazing to see this up close.

Where to stay in Upstate South Carolina

Always thinking on how I traveled half way across the world just to come and study. Sometimes I think of home and I miss it sooo much. But, this is the area I have lived for the last 3 years. This is the home far from home. I call this home, not because I have family here. It is where I have met so many wonderful people in this city. This is my #adventure from one side of the world to here!
