We took a zig-zag, jig-jag road trip down through the NC/SC border mountains yesterday. Neither of us had been in that part of the area yet, and it is pretty impressive.
No towering peaks etc, but wildly twisty roads to drive and fully surrounded by mountains all the time. Stumbled on both Table Rock [below] and Sassafras Mountain [where SC has just finished a very nice/easy-access viewing platform up on SC's highest point.
I talked with the rangers at TR, and there is a very nice sounding set of hike-in/group camp sites that might be really schweet for a hammocking meet-up....
....this is the area right along the NC/SC border, west and south of I-26, and north of Greenville, SC. That means fairly quick and easy access from any direction. The Foothills Trail that Hicks and Shug did a couple of years ago goes right thru the area, so they will know what I'm talking about. Day hike possibilities everywhere.
I am REALLY interested in starting a hang out here in the borderlands for later this summer/season, and this is not the only possibility!
PM me or chime in here on this thread if you have any interest in putting something together....
