    We decided to take a trip with friends to Surfside Beach SC. Her mom owns a small house in this huge campground. We got here Tuesday afternoon.
    Erik B said I had to take :ithappened:or it didn't happen...

    On the road... 0905231646.jpg
    The main entrance to the campground 0905232054_HDR.jpg
    The house...small single level lots like this are $8K a year rent.

    The lots with houses like this are 12K ... 0906230712.jpg 0906230711a.jpg 0906230710_HDR.jpg
    This is the pond... 0906230715a_HDR.jpg
    From the right side of the pond to the beach...far end of this street, used to be small trailers. Hurricane Hugo wiped this area out. Now it's rebuilt with houses... 0906230715_HDR.jpg
    We had ice cream for supper last night 0905231939.jpg
    And saw a custom golf cart, made like a 'vette 0905232006a_HDR.jpg 0905232006_HDR.jpg
    Beach view of part of the campground 0906230636.jpg
    I went to the beach early this morning for some sunrise pics 0906230633.jpg
    Found a small starfish, still alive, released it back to the water 0906230636b.jpg 0906230637.jpg
    More sunrise pics 0906230654.jpg 0906230655.jpg
    Getting the right angle 0906230659a.jpg
    Broken shells... 0906230703.jpg
    Even found some strange shells on the beach... 0906230705.jpg
    Dead blue crab in the dunes... 0906230708.jpg
    Saw 1 vacant lot... 0906230714.jpg
    We'll see what other adventures we get in to this week.

    Are you buying the vacant lot? :makeitrain"
    How far is it from myrtle?
    Don’t ask me why, but I half expected to see a sunrise picture of you burning a fat J on the beach. :nerd: :rofl: :lol:
    Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your break

    We're on the edge of Myrtle Beach. Campground wraps around to both city limits.
    Can't handle the skunk weed...tried that long time ago.
    The lots are rented...I don't sell as much firewood as the guy in Nashville...:smoke::smoke::smoke:

    Sweet, my folks have a similar place in N Myrtle. I’m sure I’ve been on Sunset beach before. Short walking distance down the beach from myrtle.

    Happy anniversary. Sounds like a good trip. Rent seems cheap enough considering location and how things are now a days

    Enjoy your vacation and anniversary!

    There's a nice walkway between the hotels and beach. Unless it has changed, I recall the walkway was a location for questionable people. There were 4 of us, and certainly didn't feel comfortable. This was about 10yrs ago.

    Good luck with the rest of your trip!

    I've heard of the boardwalk, we saw part of it from the Skywheel yesterday.
    Thought about going fishing, 4 hr inshore trip was gonna be almost $700...:faint:...
