Feb 2, 2015 Lake Leamon N.C. (I’m wondering if they got the spelling right) was fun. I wish I could have taken more photos, but I didn’t want to offend anyone. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
We only have 120 miles to travel to Murrells Inlet, S.C. It’s raining, but 60 degrees. On the down side, It’s windy (gusts up to 50 mph) and muggy. It’s hard to breath and I feel sticky. Laurel and Hardy were teasing us yesterday about using the air conditioning. Maybe they weren’t teasing. We “putzed” around this morning getting organized and letting
E T explore. The rain doesn’t bother her. She’s not making any friends with all the ducks and mallards on the lake. She is such a “whoosie” she waits until they start running away before she chases them. I would love to see her face if one of the ducks turn around and start chasing her. She would be hiding behind me, quivering in a split second.
We’ve arrived at Huntington Beach State Park Murrells Inlet, S.C, it’s the next town south of Myrtle Beach. I rate this a five star park for everyone that likes the outdoors. There’s the beautiful beach, nature trails, biking trail, Nature Center, camping. The last time we were here it was just for an afternoon. We were exciting to come back camping and are not the least bit disappointed.
Driving Hwy 17 through Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet, David and I say the same thing we do every time we take this route. I would never, ever come near here during peak tourist season. Every 100 feet is another tourist attraction and there’s construction everywhere, building more. There was a considerable amount of traffic today, it must be gridlock in the spring and summer.
Did I mention Huntington is very dog friendly. E T is welcome in at least 80% of the beach. She went for her first walk on the beach today. She liked it! Tomorrow we’re going shopping for sun glasses and a boogie board 🙂
