Kalmia Gardens - A Jungle in South Carolina

Today had been to Kalmia Gardens - The geological history of Kalmia Gardens is a fascinating one of ancient deposits of sands and clays which now comprise the bedrock under our feet; the advancing and retreating of the Atlantic Ocean to its front door; and the powerful carving of a bluff over the millennia by Black Creek.

Around Prestwood Lake.

Yest Had Been To Lake Prestwood, which is located in Hartsville South Carolina not very far from Lake H.B. Robinson. This lake along with Lake H.B. Robinson both impound the waters of Black Creek. I estimate this lake to be about 400 to 500 acres in size. Prestwood was originally designed to serve the Sonoco Products Company.
