Myrtle Beach is a beach resort area on steroids. The beach stretches for at least 20 miles or so and is a beautiful wide white sand beach. Just behind the dunes are the high rise condos, hotels, every chain theme restaurant, pee wee golf courses, dinner theaters and for dad, “gentlemen’s clubs”, you can imagine. Driving down the main road almost reminds one of driving on the Vegas Strip. Big advertising signs, fake mountains and palm trees, a 40 ft shark who’s mouth was the entrance to the store, all kinds of good fake stuff.
We stayed in a very nice state park right next to the beach, it was located in the middle of the beach area but on 300 acres of forest. So it was very peaceful and serene in the midst of all and fake madness built up around the park. We had some good beach time; I rode about 6 miles on the bike along the beach. I played a little golf at a nearby pitch and putt course. We thought about staying longer but the temps here were a little cool still, the weather is warmer further south and we are within a day to or two drive to Jacksonville, Florida where we have family and friends.
Nov 11 On the road.
Past Charleston, past Savannah, to mid way down the Georgia coastline we drove. Travelling down I-95 the busiest freeway on the east coast. We have seen much of this country before on earlier trips, so we continue toward JAX.
