Myrtle Beach, SC

Monday November 3rd: It was a 300-mile drive to Myrtle Beach, so it was dark when we arrived. We weren’t very happy to discover that we had to park our motorcycle at the front gate after we unloaded it the next day. We had to call for an “escort”! What a pain! They gave us a spot way to the back of the 1500 site campground. Didn’t look forward to walking up to get our motorcycle so we could explore the area but the exercise didn’t hurt us either.


At least we were near the beach! We could hear the waves crashing on the shore from our door. Lynn couldn’t wait to walk on the beach. When you were standing up you could see over the dunes out the back window and see the ocean, too.



Next day we took the trike into town. Very commercial! Set up for the summer tourist crowd for sure! Lynn got a Myrtle Beach hoody; we had a nice lunch at a small café and headed back to the RV. Glad we decided to stay for just three days. Friday was predicting rain and colder weather.




We enjoyed more walks on the beach and discovered that people like to ride their horses on the beaches here, too! The beach is very nice but Bruce said, “ See the waves crashing on one sandy beach and you’ve seen them all, now mountains are another matter”!



Wed. we discovered where the indoor heated pool was and enjoyed a couple of hours in the pool and the hot tub. Got back to the RV before the rain hit. It came early. Lynn wanted to walk on the beach in the full moonlight when we got back, but the clouds foiled that plan! Next morning we headed off to Charleston, SC.
