Palmetto Islands County Park

I am loving these early morning walks.  A couple of places that I would like to go don't open until 9:00 am and I like to go out earlier than that.  Maybe I will be a bit later for the next outing.

Palmetto Park is also in Mount Pleasant.  We first visited years and years ago before we moved here so it was probably something like 1999 when my grandsons were little guys - and they are all grown up now.  This is a really big park for being in the city and we only visited a portion of it.  Admission is $2 per adult.  Not sure about kids.  Dogs are welcome on leash and there is also a dog park!  So, come with me as we re-explore an old favorite!

This is one of the kayak launch docks.

I was surprised there was no one fishing but it was a Monday - back to work!

Group party/picnic area

You have got to love this great swing for viewing the wildlife and just relaxing.

Another launch area.

There are little paths and walkways everywhere.

Boardwalks

There is a large observation tower for those with strong legs!

The views from the tower are fabulous.

Back in the Lowcountry

I have been gone from the Lowcountry for so, so long.  I am back for a visit with my family and have had fun revisiting some of my most favorite places.  Please come along with me as I take you on a tour!

My first visit was to Pitt Street Park in Mount Pleasant which is just across the bridge from Charleston.  Pitt Street used to lead to a pontoon bridge that spanned the Intra-coastal Waterway to reach Sullivan's Island.  Today the bridge has been replaced by the Ben Sawyer Bridge and the old bridge area turned into a lovely little park.  I took my grand-dog, Lacey, a yellow lab and set out early in the morning.

As we were leaving I realized that most people who visit Charleston never find their way to the Old Village in Mount Pleasant.  It is so full of charm - I took this picture quickly out the windshield as I headed home.  I hope you enjoyed your visit with me!

I was there five years ago and your can see that posting by clicking HERE.

Surf Fishing

This young man is certainly finding a way to enjoy the storm.
