This trip was not exactly a stellar hiking and photography adventure, but it was a great time spent with my Family.  My Brother drove down from Ohio and my Niece came in from nearby Summerville and we ended up spending a week at a rental house right on Lake Marion in Santee South Carolina.  My Brother is a huge fisherman... maybe semi-pro in that he's won dozens and maybe a hundred bass fishing tournaments where the first place season prize is a brand new bass boat!  He's really good at it.

He and I spent most of the days out fishing in his boat.  We got to see my Niece graduate and also spend some time walking around a nearby wildlife refuge.  They have alligators in South Carolina you know?  Yeah, we saw plenty of those!  Here's a few pictures.

It was a sweet family vacation and a nice change of scenery compared to out west.  Thank you for reading!
