Well they\u2019re totally different than the Sierra. Trees. Lots of trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I picked 5 of the most remote peaks on my SoCar list. The first, Burrell was the site of a 1943 B25 crash. The rest were unremarkable. I did pass a fish hatchery where over 200,000 lbs. of brown and rainbow trout are raised for release into SC waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four mountains were bushwhacking. They all had thick rhododendron growth, poison ivy, and no views, but no cacti, cat claw, or jagged rocks to negotiate.  Bushwhacking is relatively a big deal here because navigation was by map and compass with only a distant tree for a bearing mark. And you know how easy it is for all trees to begin to look alike when navigating. Anyway, I didn\u2019t get lost, so it was an enjoyable day. I labeled each peak photo so you can tell them apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
