The creation of Lake Jocassee by Duke Power Company�s massive Keowee-Toxaway Project in the late 1960s and early 1970s flooded a quaint mountain valley whose earliest recorded history was in 1539; when Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto led an expedition through the present-day Jocassee Gorges. In 1971; hundreds watched the slow retreat of the Whitewater; Thompson; Horsepasture; Toxaway; and Keowee Rivers as they formed one large lake; smothering homes; lands; and farms in the process. Years of monitoring the water flow through the valley proved initial estimates correct; and Lake Jocassee became the deepwater source it was intended to be; providing an adequate supply of water to generate electricity. Today; a new generation enjoys many recreational activities on what is known as the �Jewel in South Carolina�s Crown;� a pristine lake surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains in Oconee and Pickens Counties.

No download and nothing to print for coloring. Cant even be certain the samples they give us are actually in this coloring book; as theyre also used for other coloring books. Again; these are the simple sampler designs that are in other coloring books of theirs. Based on these samples; will not recommend.What good are these coloring books to Kindle owners...None.When we buy coloring books in stores we can look inside to see if we like the designs and check for any designs we already have. WHY Not Here On ??1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Stay stress free with this bookBy HopeGreat free coloring book. I ran across this when looking for adult coloring books. With it being a kindle book it has a download link in it so I can print out the hard copies to color. I love all of the details to color. It will keep me busy for hours on end.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Two StarsBy SeriouslyNot much to see here. You get what you pay for.
