Lake Tahoe, California
I’ve been lucky enough in my life to see and explore areas that are not easily accessible to the public along the SC Coast. Especially along the upper Lowcountry in Georgetown, along the Winyah Bay and North Inlet. I’ve explored the Carolina Bay areas in upper Charleston County and so on.
As a kid, I often accessed the islands on my dad’s old little john boat. Nothing special - just a lot of knowledge passed down on how to get “there”. I grew up visiting places that felt truly still wild. Such a large portion of the SC coast is hidden and inaccessible by a car. Or… like today, accessible by car and a long walk, but the road there is kept behind a gate.
Like I said, I find myself becoming luckier and I gain access to more keys to unlock this beautiful coast I love. Then I get to share it here, with you.
THIS South Carolina is something special. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to see it, it stays with you, and at least for me, I can never get enough.
The stories of how I get these keys are a whole other thing itself, you’d have to ask to hear those stories. Today, I walked along the beach that stretches along the North Inlet. You can view a stretch of it from an immaculate house at the end of the gated and closed off community. An uninterrupted view of nature as far as the eye can see.
I wouldn’t mind doing the dishes with this view -
Today, I parked under this house (with permission) and started walking. You can tell this place rarely has visitors. Huge shells line the shore. The sand only moves by the wind, and my footsteps were the only ones I could see. The only evidence of visitors are the conch shells that hang on the drift wood.
I only explored about 3/4 of a mile of this stretch today, but I plan on taking a lot more time one weekend. It’s no wonder why I’m so connected to this place. It’s no wonder why I couldn’t stay far away.
A nice change of scenery ❄️
I love the snow. Most of my birthdays have been spent up in the mountains, and every time I get the gift of watching snow fall. This weekend was no different.

Going home today. Until next time Colorado!
I live in heaven btw… if you were wondering.
Thinking about Pisgah.
The Waccamaw River and a bald cypress tree.
When you’re on a hike at 2 but you have a concert to attend at 7.
For some reason this photo got deleted off of here so I’m reposting it. Sorting through some pics and found this from the winter of ‘22 right after I moved to the upstate.
Am I emotionally ready to drive through Pisgah on my way to Tennessee this weekend? Absolutely not. But I gotta rip the bandaid off at some point.

I’ll never get over Max Patch
Found some new big trees today in Congaree National Park. This time it was in the oak family. As usual, pictures never do the true size of these giants justice. But I saw a collection of the biggest (non-live oak) oak trees ever today. Here’s one of the highlights.
Old growth forests are special in their own right. Add floodplain, southern swamp, and wetland elements to it, and you have such a diverse landscape. With the lack of rainfall in recent weeks, the floodplain has soaked up much water, leaving many guts and swamps with dry beds. You can see the underside of what these trees look like under water. Not to fret though, rain will come soon and so the wetland cycle continues.
I usually do not bring my camera bag with me when I’m deep in the woods, but I decided to this weekend in Congaree National Park.
Exploring the Waccamaw River and surrounding creeks via kayak today. Any day spent around the water and bald cypress trees is a good day in my book. And yes, we did see a gator, but as usual, he could have cared less about us.
