After a very windy night, I woke to ice clinging to my tent walls, that was to be expected considering the single wall tent. Breakfast was fun since as soon as I poured water into my pot, it turned to such instantly, guess I'll have to use a little more stove fuel this morning.
Packed up and headed up to Sassafrass Mtn, the highest Point in SC (3354ft). Even though there wasn't a cloud in the sky, the view wasn't anything as good as yesterdays cliff top view., the summit was kinda wooded. Dropped off the west side of the Mtn, and headed to Laurel Creek. FYI
there isn't much water between Hickorynut Mtn and a couple miles west of US 178 (except for Estatoe Creek, which gets a lot of road runnoff, which i don't want to drink). Stopped for lunch at a waterfall along the creek.I continued on, walking along the creek for a few mile until I came to a suspension bridge leading to my campsite. Duke Powers is responsible for maintai
ning like 44? miles of trail and the have install numerous suspension bridges over rivers, creeks, and gorges. They're pretty impressive.Camped at Laurel Creek Falls Campground. Although, the campsite looks very overused (i had it all to myself), it has one very cool feature-it sits atop the waterfall. What a great way to end day, sitting atop a waterfall and watch the water disappear below you.
