Trip Report - Mano | We drove up from Clemson, SC where we had stayed the night before. Equipped with Mike's laptop with a digitized map and a GPS feed, we never even had to look at a regular map - the GPS was sensitive enough and the map accurate enough to pick out even small curves on the road. We parked on the "lower" lot and walked up the few yards to the summit. There was no obvious marker at the summit itself, just trail directions. Some views were visible from the summit in mid-January. We heard a sound of water trickling, and of course there was no stream around -- this was the state high point. We figured it was the sound of dew melting in the warming sun. |
