Oconee County

Trip: October 14, 2017

Visited: Pleasant Valley, Bostwick, Good Hope, North High Shoals

Weather: Partly cloudy to overcast and dodging rain.

Camera: Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone.

Notes: I took a drive to Athens, stopping to revisit some places I’d seen before, and near where I grew up. Oconee County is a lot more scenic than I knew as a child, and there’s more hidden there than I can see - several grist mills survive on private property. This trip was relatively uneventful, but offered a high point with finding semi-abandoned railroad equipment outside Monroe.

Bostwick, which I’ll revisit, has more to offer, including an annual Cotton Gin Festival.
