Beach Time

Back from the beach. What a great day. Picked up some more Oak Leaf wine at Wally World. What a zoo out there with everybody heading home. NOT US! Off to the OB tomorrow. Now it's shower time and then cocktails. What a life.

Great Fish Dinner

The fresh fish dinner last night was great. Bought two bottles of Oak Leaf white wine at Wally World and it was really very good and less than $3 per bottle. Going to buy some more today. Another beautiful morning. Beach time today. Tomorrow, we pack up and head to the Outer Banks of NC for about a week. How about the picture!!!

Margaritaville

This morning I got up early and headed for the fishing pier. Caught enough fish for a fresh fish dinner tonight. Then headed into town for lunch at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. Sharleen had a cheeseburger from paradise and I had conch fritters and TWO margaritas. Then to the store for flags to display tomorrow [Memorial Day.] Also bought a couple of bottles of white wine to go with the fish tonight. Sure is nice to be in a civilized state where you can buy booze on Sunday. In Arkansas, being the buckle of the Bible belt, you can't. Like that really keeps you from imbibing on Sunday! Another reason to get back to the ocean. Now it's nap time.

Relaxing

Relaxing after a hard day at the beach and fishing.

First Full Day at Myrtle Beach

Got up early [what else is new.] Went to Wally World to pick up some items, then to the beach, then to the fishing pier. Getting to look like I need to change my ethnic code. No luck with the fishing so will try tomorrow morning early. Have steak for dinner anyway and will stoke up the bbq in several hours after happy hour [or two.] Life's tough.

Myrtle Beach 2

Went to the beach yesterday afternoon. Love the sand, saltwater and ocean breeze. More of the same today. Right now it's a typical ocean front morning, a little fog and some high clouds that are breaking up. Going to be another nice day. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll catch dinner. Nothing beats fresh seafood. Then Monday, it's off to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville for a cheeseburger in paradise and a schooner of margaritas. Read and weep you Parrotheads!

Myrtle Beach 1

First pics of Myrtle Beach. Love the smell of the ocean. Going to the beach after this post. Then salt water fishing from the pier on Sunday. Beach all day tomorrow. Arkansas is fine but it's not where my heart is. More later.

Only 3 hours away

Beautiful morning. Sandy soil in the campground which means the beach is close. GPS says less than a 3 hour drive. Topped the gas tank and reprovisioned yesterday so we're ready for the beach. Jimmy Buffet - here I come.

Tired of Backroads

I'm tired of backroads. Finally, made it to the interstate and that should take us all the way to the beach. The backroads let you see a lot more but they get tiresome after awhile. Tomorrow, toes in the sand, a cold drink and a good book. Sure glad we decided not to go to the Gulf Coast. What a disaster and I don't see a lot of federal help. Obama's Katrina. I guess it was more important that he go to CA and raise funds for that sawed off, female dog Barbara Boxer. Palin, Boxer and Pelosi - can't stand any one of them. Enough ranting. No pictures today.

Rainbow

This was a beautiful rainbow over our campground late yesterday afternoon. Off to Camden, SC today then Myrtle Beach on Friday.

Long Drive

Long drive today through TN, NC, GA and SC. Drove through the southern part of the Appalachia's and TN Valley in eastern TN, Blue Ridge mountains in north GA. Beautiful country but long, narrow and windy mountain roads. Takes alot out of you and I'm beat this afternoon. Tomorrow we'll be on the interstate towards Columbia, SC. Easy driving. More later.

On the way to South Carolina

On the way to South Carolina. One more night in TN and then to Myrtle Beach for the long weekend. REMEMBER THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR FREEDOMS. Spent the night on the TN river at a not too good campground. [Hales Bar outside of Chattanooga.] Would not recommend it. Weather holding out - warm and a little muggy. Will post more later.

Sissy, The RV Cat

Sissy, our RV cay hard at work. She is actually adjusting pretty well to RVing. On to Chattanooga, TN today. Beautiful morning after a late afternoon thunderstorm yesterday.

Shiloh National Military Park

Some pictures of the Shiloh National Military Park. First real bloody battle of the Civil War. Rebs won day 1 and Yanks won day 2 and the battle. On to Chattanooga tomorrow.

New Blog

Just set up this new blog. Will post to it as we travel around the country. Going to the Razorback Base annual campout this coming weekend. Pete Rathmell, SubvetRVers Wagonmaster
