Whippoorwill Farewell: Jocassee Remembered

Lake Jocassee

Missing Boy in Lake Jocassee
My prayers and sympathies go out to the Dorchak family whose 3-year-old boy is missing in Lake Jocassee.  I cannot imagine the grief they are experiencing.  Many of my diver friends send their sympathies, as well.  It is such a tragedy, and we send our love to them.

Sudden storms are not uncommon at Jocassee.  I have heard that it's a combination of storms moving in over the mountains, along with the wind whipping up over the dam.

Such a beautiful lake . . . such a tragic event.  We should all take a moment and count our blessings.

In the beginning . . .
Hi, there.  I see you have found my newfound toy . . . the blog.  Admittedly, this is my hubby's doing, as he is my webmaster, and I guess he figured I need another outlet to talk about Jocassee .

There are a couple of upcoming articles you might be interested in reading:  one will be published in this month's Jocassee Journal about diving in Lake Jocassee (I'm told I'm a centerfold - haha); the other is an article by a freelance writer for South Carolina Alive! about Attakulla Lodge.  I will post a link on my website to both articles.

I love to talk about Jocassee - past and present - so please feel free to join the blog with any questions or comments.

Dave and I are leaving on June 7th for Beaufort and Tybee Island to celebrate our 33rd anniversary.  I'm guessin' that Tybee is one of my favorite places, second only to Jocassee.
