Fernwood Nature Trail

The parks were packed last weekend with the spring weather. If you head down to Cleveland Park in the near future, be sure to take a stroll on the Fernwood Nature. The Sierra Club spent Saturday morning cleaning it up and adding mulch.

Halfway to Habana Cigar and Martini Bar

A few months ago one of Greenville's finest cigar shops moved a few blocks down Main street to fill the space previously occupied by Latitude Restaurant. Their new space is much larger, contains a full bar and restaurant, and of course a smoking lounge.  Cigarettes are not allowed in the establishment due to the city's anti-smoking ban, but cigars and pipes are welcome in this one bar as the result of a state proviso. The bar has a small, although excellent, beer list, an excellent wine list, 70 different brands of scotch, and of course a number of martini specials. A beer and a stogie is not a bad way to kill an hour or two on a snowy afternoon. 

Distance from downtown Greenville: O miles

Helping Haiti Rescue Efforts

No scam here. This is for real. If you'd like to donate to the relief efforts in Haiti you can do so by texting the word Haiti to 90999 from your mobile phone and you'll be billed $10. If you're suspicious you can check the following State Department site for confirmation (last paragraph).

Kings Creek Falls

Just up the hill from the wild and scenic Chatooga River is Kings Creek Falls.  This is a good one to catch  on the way to Spoonauger Falls and Ellicott's Rock.

Park at the Burrells Ford Campground parking lot, then take the Foothills Trail, near the entrance to the parking area, to the falls. They're not hard to find.  On the way back to Greenville, you might want to check out Isaqueena Falls and Stumphouse tunnel.


Distance from downtown Greenville: 66 miles.
