This is another postcard I purchased (at Sunrift Adventures) yesterday afternoon while letterboxing.
Brasstown Falls is considered a hidden gem in Oconee County in South Carolina. Some hikers might consider it a drawback that each falls has to be viewed separately...Little Brasstown Falls, Brasstown Cascades, Brasstown Veil, Brasstown Sluice. Pictured above is the Brasstown Veil and Brasstown Cascades.
The trail is steep and rocky, and supposedly it takes an hour or two to climb into and out of the gorge. I'm not sure; I haven't been here, either!

Oconee Station State Park is located near Walhalla, South Carolina.
The Oconee Station Falls (a.k.a. Station Cove Falls) trail is 7/10 mile on a wide, mostly flat, old logging road. I guess at least some of these wildflowers (pictured above) can be seen along the trail? I'm not sure; I haven't been to this park.
The wildflowers pictured above (from left to right, top to bottom) are:
Bloodroot
Canada Violet
Sessile Bellwort
Dwarf Iris
Toadshade
Foamflower
Yellow Trillium
Rue-Anemone
At the end of the trail, the Oconee Station Falls trickles over the edge of a 50-foot high ledge.
Of note, the park features several Revolutionary War-era structures.

The Upper Whitewater Falls (pictured above) is located in North Carolina. Some consider it to be the highest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains with a drop of 411 feet.
The Lower Whitewater Falls is located in South Carolina (about two miles downstream). It drops another 400 feet.
I cleaned out and straightened up my letterboxing "kit" a couple of weeks ago, which made me want to go letterboxing! (I didn't realize it had been more than a year since my last find.)
Today being Independence Day, my husband had a holiday from work. We took the opportunity to go letterboxing! We looked for two letterboxes and found both of them. That doesn't always happen! :P
The first letterbox we searched for was "Palmetto Pastime," planted by a letterboxer who lives in California. He planted it on a cross-country road trip!
T also received this postcard...
from a special education teacher who lives in North Augusta, South Carolina.
The postcard shows a school room map of the British Isles.
The British Isles is a group of islands off the northwestern coast of continental Europe that consists of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, and over six thousand smaller islands. Two sovereign states are located on the islands: Ireland (the Republic of Ireland) which covers five-sixths of the island of the same name, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the United Kingdom).
