R&R IN MYRTLE BEACH SC

 We arrived in Myrtle Beach SC for a two week "rest up" before heading north.
 All the SC State parks are alcohol free.
This is not to be confused with free alcohol!
 The artist is in the park.
Two weeks to "bike week"
This homemade trike has a 400hp 350 V8 Chevy engine.
 Great waves in 70deg water are a treat.

Crabbin' by the state park pier.
Blue Crab
A wandering alligator in the Huntington Beach State Park swamp.
 Lots of birds on the campsite.
Anole lizards are numerous in South Carolina.
They can change from a dark brown to light green and "puff out" during mating or fighting season.
Great flowers.
Downtown has a new boardwalk and many attractions.

The SkyWheel was built last year.
It's 200ft high and provides a nice view of the city.
Lots of great Mexican food in the area.
Mothers Day

We got "all you can eat crabs" at Crabbie Mikes!

Shore line creatures.


I would like to try "kite boarding" when I grow up.
The big moon in May was a perfect end to our visit.
Dorcas Bay here we come!!!

ON THE ROAD TO MYRTLE BEACH SC


This trip was over 3500km and took two weeks as we wandered to MBSC.
This harmless Bull snake was road kill in New Mexico.
It can grow to 8ft and is a beauty.

We were in a Wal Mart parking lot for two days in Oklahoma City due to the tornadoes that hit the area.
It was like in a high pressure car wash for two days.
The first night was alongside a wash run off. This was not a great location and we moved closer to the main building for the next night. The Wally staff were great as they let us take on more water in the trailer tanks for extra weight and the parking lot security patrol waved as he patrolled the area over night. It was a great opportunity to test for water leaks in the trailer!
Elvis is in the RV Park.
The sign says:
Before Elvis there was nothing.
John Lennon
We spent two days here.
Maggie making friends with a local coyote decoy!!
The King
The stone fence surrounding Graceland is covered with comments.

Maggie left her comment "ELVIS HOWLS"!
This surprise visitor came looking for Maggie.
This is the largest cross in the western hemisphere (600ft).
It was located near the Georgia border.
This unique rose bush confirmed spring was in the air.
Maggie wanted this unit for herself on our next tour.
Myrtle Beach is in our sights.
