Pickens County Airport Appreciation Day

That had me a bit confused too. I went to college at Clemson (which is
in Pickens County SC) and though it was close to the border, I didn't
think it was THAT close .

As to the event, maybe next year. Still working on my PPL and it's
further than I'd like to drive (I'm down near Charleston, SC). Sounds
like great fun though!!

frequency can get confusing sometimes on clear days!

Mike, I went to Clemson too, '66, but that's in Ocone County.
As I'm fond of saying, "the most I ever got to be in life was vice-president
of the Dixie Sky Divers, 1963, Clemson, South Carolina."
I'm in Encinitas, CA ... and not current..... otherwise, I'd like to be
there too.
I checked my atlas after my first post and yes, they have a Pickens County
in GA ....... I think my mind is slipping anyway.

Actually, no, Clemson is in Pickens County. When you cross the bridge
going towards Seneca you enter Oconee County . It's only about a
quarter mile drive from the University to the border so it is pretty
close.

Some of the town of Clemson might actually straddle the the county
lines, but most of the town and the University for sure is in Pickens
County.

Mike, you are correct.
