If you've never been to the SC Upstate, its a treat. Bad Creek Reservoir, feeds into lake Jocassee, Jocassee feeds into Keowee. They have tunnels from each lake for the water to pass, the water turns turbines that produce power, during low power needs, they reverse the turbines and pump water back up to insure they have what they need for peak usage. On lake Keowee, they have a Nuclear Power plant. You can't access much of Bad Creek, Jocassee has a few houses on it, but is still mostly unspoiled, Keowee is home of the rich transplanted Yankee, more people from Ohio than are still in Ohio
