Huntington Beach State Park SC

In May 2009 we treated ourselves to a week at Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet South Carolina. The sun was hot, the beach cool with breezes, and so many fun things to do at this wonderful park. Murrells Inlet is located south of Myrtle Beach and we happened to arrive just at the start of 'Bike Week'. The beaches and bars were rocking and rolling with all the motorcycles and bikers. So we had the roar of the waves and the cycles through the warm evenings.

We spent lots of time on the beach, and doctoring our sunburns, yet we had time to watch the wildlife. Alligators were all over and fun to watch. We had a chance to kayak through the salt marsh at high tide. Later Mike saw an alligator in the salt marsh. Good thing that was after kayaking or Norene would not have gone. A thunderstorm developed as we were out on the salt marsh so we had a new kayaking experience... paddling in a downpour for half an hour. This was the first time Norene had gotten wet kayaking. However, Mike did get thrown over last May.

The Brookgreen Sculpture Garden is a fantastic place to visit. We spent two days enjoying the flowers, grounds, the art, rice plantation, and the history of the area. As you view the Smilebox you can enjoy some of these sights.

Blue Ridge T@B Rally 09

Sharon & Becky hosted a great rally at the Creekside Farm RV Park in Waynesville, NC April 29 through May 3, 2009. We met many new T@B friends and learned a great deal about fixing our T@B. It was fun seeing all the custom changes different people had made to personalize their trailers. The weather was a little rainy at times but the sun did shine, the days warm, and the activities enjoyable.
