    Thanks for sharing. I guess you got your exercise paddling to the next camp each day :-D
    Nice to see the view from the kayaks. And bonus catching the fish.

    Very nice! Brought back memories. That boat ramp at the end, near the ranger station, indeed must be new. If it's where I'm thinking you mean, that was just a gravel lot about 3 years ago.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Yes

    BBQ, sweat potato pancakes, killer omelet!
    A Sea Lion! Dont see too many of them anymore-great kayak.
    Great GoPro work, loved the foggy scenes.
    Now tell me this. Last time I was at Santeetla the 'locals' would claim each campsite with an el cheapo $10 walmart tent/tattered and leave them up all seaon long...so did you see any of that method used for eternal claiming of sites.
    RainMan, I think you, me and others put in across from the rangers station where it is still a gravel lot and leave our cars at the ranger station. These guys put in on the peninsula that has private land/houses versus the rest of the lake which is surrounded by nat. forest.
    Anyway great vid.....those two kayaks should be planning a trip to LBL in a few weeks, just saying.

    Hey MM We did not see any Wal-Mart tents. We scouted and checked out as many campsites as we could. The ones that had road access were not good. The last site we stayed at had a little trash but we cleaned it up. Wish we could do trip but UPS will be going full steam by then. Doing Panthertown with scout troop this weekend. My friend Greg does a great job with his videos. That is the first time he used go-pro on one of our trips. BigRed77

    Thanks for taking us along.

    I am about to put you in the same group as I have put MM ... the "I've gotta stop watching this video because I keep adding more spots to my bucket list" group.

    The scenery looked great and the fishing looked nice too.

    on lake Jocassee (depending on recent rain) there is a waterfall you can paddle behind which is very cool, literally if you get under it
