  • I wonder if this has any bearing on how rough Lake Jocassee is. Every time I have ever seen it the waters are rocking' and rollin'

  • There is footage of the cemetery relocation in Deliverance. Supposedly the bodies were exhumed and moved but the stones left in place. Opposite of Poltergeist. 😁

  • I believe there is a store near there that has one of the screen used canoes from Deliverance on display. Not sure which one or if it's even still there.
