There's mountains in SC?We were in Charlston
at Christmas time,& I didn't see any.
I liked seeing all of the skidmarks on that one
corner (about 4:29).Nice video.

It's all a matter of perspective I suppose.
Paris Mountain rises about 800 feet or so for the
5 or so mile climb.
My house in Pumpkintown is at 1180 feet above sea level
and higher than Paris Mountain.
Caesar's Head would be about 3500 feet or so above
sea level.
Table Rock, which is my view, is about 3000 feet.
I'd guess to folks in the Rockies our mountains would
be mole hills. Nearby my house is Tater Hill Mountain.
Perhaps an appropriate name if ever there was one for our mountains.

You were in the low country, we don't count that down there, we live in the NW most section of the state, I haven't been to Myrtle Beach since I was a kid, I do go to Chartleston ever now and then, to appreciate the Upstate ( I do like the history of Charleston), for the most part I hate the coast, any coast, but I love the mountians, yes we have mountians in SC, well in the best part of it anyway

David don't make any excuses for our mountains, atleast we have oak trees on ours instead of those big ole pine trees that they have out there Everytime I go out West I can't wait to get home, and get some good country "cubed" fried steak, (Chicken fried steak, what a joke), some collard greens, grits and see a oak tree People out West have never saw a mountian road as lush as the one you showed them, unless they were here, or in Coasta Rica.

 

[Gundy]

Hey I ain't making excuses. I love where I live and the roads
locally are so sweet that BMW used them as a test course track
for the international motor press introduction to the then new Z3. It's hard to beat the variety of fine "sporty" roads hereabouts.
Now Hap....we love our coast. Ya just gotta know where to go.
Litchfield is about the finest beach you'll ever find.
Myrtle Beach is for out of towners and conventions.
Charleton has fantastic dining and the Battery is worth the trip.
Here's a pic from my front window. Table Rock. I'd think it would meet any definition of a mountain. :wink:

The thing about the Carolinas is that the trip from the coast to the mountains
can be accomplished in six hours, more or less, say Murrells Inlet to Ashville.
Costal plain to piedmont to foot hills to mountains.

I didn't take it that way Doug. I thought it was a compliment.
I think maybe my aw shucks good ol boy answer skewed Hap's view.
I have to say that west coast coastal highway is da bomb!
