July 2, 2008 left Charlotte for Conway, SC to the Glendinning factory parking lot. The next morning they molded a new head on the end of our 50 amp power cord while the cord was still attached to the power reel inside our bus. Pretty cool. This was a repair that had been delayed because of the complications of removing the reel and shipping. Jim is elated that he can use the power reel and not lug the separate power cord in and out of the bus every time we hook up.
We spent one night at a lovely RV resort in Longs, SC. Willow Creek had spacious sites, nice landscaping, a lake with paddle boats, huge pool, and game room with the works.
July 4, 2008 drove to Cherry Grove, SC, a beach town north of Myrtle Beach. Mainly tourist cottages and restaurants. We found a great spot to dry camp, behind a seafood warehouse! Spent the day and evening on the beach and in the ocean. Kept moving our beach “camp” back towards the sand dunes because of high tide. We were up against it with dune-to-dune people to watch fireworks. It was perfect weather and the water temp was inviting. We were absolutely “blown away” by the fireworks display that was launched from a pier very near to us. The reflections of the explosions in the Atlantic Ocean were not only beautiful, but included the significance of our independence from GB. Don’t miss the pics of Flaming Amy’s.
