MYRTLE BEACH STATE PARK

This is the Myrtle Beach State Park entrance.
It is a few miles from the busy city of Myrtle Beach SC but
the park is always quiet, dark at night and "loaded" with nature. Here's some pix of the entrance to the camp ground.
This time of year everything is in full blossom.

View from the wireless site at the Ranger Station.
This little fellow welcomed us to our site.
The beach, a short walk from our site, has a state park fishing pier
at the south end.
The north end views the downtown area and is a beautiful walk
anytime of day.
This pic of Chris "frolicking" in the ocean happened about 10 min.
after we arrived.
Each day we spend at least an hour in the water to "recharge" that
down home salt in our blood.
The waves are a real workout.
Our site is now fully setup so we can "let the games begin"!
OH NO!!! Check out the site next door!

He seems a little ``TWISTED``.

ARRIVED IN MYRTLE BEACH

As most of you may already know, a large fire spread across the
wooded area of North Myrtle Beach. These are the scenes in areas
where it crossed the major highways and as we drove pass,
highways were closed and there appeared
to be many hot spots.
Reports say that up to sixty homes were lost and hundreds are homeless.
I believe no one was seriously hurt.
A frightful scene.
