Our Great Adventure ~ August on the Pisgah. Part II



Friday, August 24, 2018

Today we took a ride to Fred W. Symmes Chapel. Located in Upstate South Carolina, the Chapel is one of the many buildings that make up YMCA Camp Greenville. It was given by Mr. Fred W. Symmes for the enjoyment of the girls and boys who camp here each summer and is the spiritual center of the camp. The Chapel is also known as "Pretty Place" because of its amazing views from the top of Stone Mountain. It is a place of reflection and peace...










From there we drove to Caesars Head State Park, which has long been a "must-see" in the South Carolina Upstate.  A granitic gneiss outcropping atop the Blue Ridge Escarpment, it offers fabulous views year-round...
