Beach Cove Resort North Myrtle Beach

Road Warrior And Then Some

I think it takes a certain type of person: Living 24 / 7 in LESS that 100sq ft of living space!! … You sure find out how compatible you are when you find yourself attached at the hip to another individual… With a leash of about 20 ft it is a whole different experience and not without it's challenges: As Steve mentioned tonight after I had spent 20 mins engrossed in conversation with a fisherman … he felt maybe I was ...

... s had wrought iron furniture and bare floors. The home has been abandoned for a number of years and is a state of disrepair with large cracks in the walls and foundations.

The bicycle path follows the roadway across a man-made salt marsh that is home to waterfowl, alligators and many marine inhabitants. High tide conceals the muddy bottom, so a low tide return will be in order.

On the west bank we spot a bare limbed tree ...

Today's weather was perfect for our adventure: a trip to Huntington Beach State Park. Huntington is located at Murrel's Inlet, south of Myrtle Beach. The beach is a small, beautiful, white sand beach with no condos, no houses, nothing to spoil your view (if you are looking north.) Tim and Brenda are birders, so we took a short walk through the woods onto a boardwalk where we saw the ...

We got up early and went to Calabash to buy Christmas ornaments. Then we went into Myrtle Beach to Broadway at the Beach to see the carousel that used to be in MB. We rode it every year from before I can remember until we finally got "too old" for such foolishness. The organ is there, too, but it was all closed up for the winter.






We fed the fish and ducks and then ourselves! After lunch at the Key West ...

... a auto zone again, and purchased 27 dollars worth of exhaust pieces, and jerry rigged a air tight temporary fix that would route the exhaust gas away from the RV towards the side, giving us fresh air to breath in again, as the fumes burned our eyes, and made the donuts taste like ****.

Having the RV fixed again, I prayed again that there would be no more breakdowns on the road towards Florida. Things were ...

... that I got to play in the final Jeopardy round for a $25 bar tab. My competition: hard-core trucker woman, and man in old Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt... both about 20 or so years older than me. In the end... I WON!! Thank you questions about Disney Movies and theme parks :)

Myrtle Beach was so much fun. It may be their off season, but the good times were on for us!

The show... not our best, not the best space, but it's over and we're headed West young man.

... gator(s). A lot of wood storks too. Then we talked through the winter home of the Huntingtons, a couple of rich NY'ers who came here in the winter in the 1930's--buying 9,000 acres, because the Missus had TB. He seemd like a good dude as rich people go.

... temporaries, which means they get no insurance, noretirement benefits , no paid time off (vacation or sick). They make $8 an hour and are forced to take two unpaid weeks off every year (scheduled by the employer) to prevent them from becoming permanent.

... see a smoky gray figure wandering around the beaches as the rough tides roll in. To locals, he is known as The Gray Man. The lore says, The Gray Man was a young man during the Nineteenth Century. He was riding his horse on the coastline when a storm arose, knocking him from his saddle and killing him instantly. Since then, the figure has been seen numerous times during storm seasons. He is thought to be a warning. If he appears and walks ...

... and Robert Plant. This stuff is pretty rock-ish, but I like Alison Krauss. Shaken by a Low Sound; Crooked Still. So cool! They do lots of neato chopping stuff. Angeline the Baker; Brad Phillips and Jeremy Garrett. Some of the best "twiddling" (twin fiddling) I've ever heard.
