Nov 6-11 - Myrtle Beach, SC

Checked into Briarcliffe RV in North Myrtle Beach mid-afternoon. This is a mega golf/mini-golf community, supposedly over 100 courses. This park is centrally located for all activities. We are now in good weather so had our first BBQ steak dinner. We are adjascent to the Barefoot Landing shopping center, a unique mall made up of individual little house/shops (mostly boutiques) connected by foot bridges over the Intercoastal Waterway, which connects Florida to North Carolina. There are many interesting eating spots, including Greg Norman's Australian Grill on the water where we enjoyed a great seafood lunch while watching the personal yachts coming and going.







We played 18 holes of golf at Azalea Sands ($30 each with cart plus a sleeve of balls). There were Fox squirrels everywhere, some black, some grey, with masks and foot long+ tails, about the size of small cats.



We drove south down Hwy 17 to Myrtle Beach then along the coastal road - many seaside mansions and big hotel chains (all advertising cheap rooms & golf packages). Off season presumably. Huge discount beachwear dept stores on almost every block.
Golfed 18 holes at Palmetto Greens ($35 each with cart & lunch)

Today we are in the tail end of Hurricane Ida - no wind but expecting 6-9 inches of rain over the next few days. YUCKKKKK !!
