My route did not really let me see much of Myrtle Beach itself. I was heading to Coastal carolina on the coast and away from the city. I wanted to see if it is still as I remember it from 30 or so years ago -- block and block and block of hotels and miniature golf.

My best friend grew up here and, after I had already past through the town, suggested a old,large famous tree to see. Another recent friend was looking at the area and said Cherry Grove Beach was reportedly very nice. But 100% cloud cover and rain starts midnight before I could get there.
