Sadler's Creek State Park on Lake Hartwell
After being home a little less than a week, we are headed back out.....this time to
Andrews, South Carolina. Greg starts work in a
few days and
will be working another extra 4 days on the end of this hitch and then will get just 2 days off.
We have settled in at Sadlers Creek State
Recreational Park Area, a short 20-minute drive from the hospital where Greg works. Sadlers Creek State Park sits on 395 acres
on a peninsula that extends into Lake Hartwell, one of the Savannah River
reservoirs. It has good fishing, while the park itself has hiking and biking trails, boating,
horse trails, and nice beach area, and much more. It reminds us of the county park in Hixson, where Greg grew up. It is a neat place and it will be our home for the duration of our stay here in Andrews.
The weekends are very busy here in the park with other motor homes, campers, tents coming in on Friday afternoons and setting up camp. There are fishing boats, ski boats, jet skis, pontoons boats, and a beach full of people playing in the water. Greg is working nights so I have to do something quietly during the day so not wake him up. I usually spend time gathering firewood for our nightly time around the fire pit, walking the beach and the walking-trails during the weekdays, and on the weekends I people-watch..... the kids swimming,
people grilling while listening to music playing, etc. It is funny to watch, on Sunday afternoons/evenings, the mass exodus of people headed back home to start another week in the rat race.
The weekends compared to the weekdays are a stark contrast here in the park. I have to admit, I enjoy the solitude and quiet of the weekdays better.
When Monday rolls around it is me, the wildlife, and a few motor
homes in the area. Sometimes, while Greg is at work at night, I will build a fire in the fire pit and sit
outside listening to music on my iPod for hours at a time. When Greg is off we play scrabble, roast marsh mellows, grill out, and just enjoy the campground. I love to hear the sound of the waves of
the lake pounding against the
shore; it reminds me of our time on the boat. Very nice and pleasant.
