Murrell's Inlet and Myrtle Beach

Today we ventured north to Myrtle Beach pausing along the way in the small town of Murrell's Inlet. We strolled along their Marsh Walk and pier, watching pelicans and dispensing free advice to the dock crabbers. We saw one keeper after it was caught. It was much smaller than the dungeness crabs we catch at home.

We enjoyed an inexpensive, tasty low country buffet lunch at Prosser's BBQ. We got to try most of the Southern favorites including collard greens, meatloaf, black-eyed peas, pan-fried oysters, and peach cobbler. If you're ever in the area, don't miss this place! Then it was on to Myrtle Beach where we tried to push through our Prosser's-induced food coma.

We spent most of our time at Myrtle Beach near the boardwalk but the hotels, restaurants, mini golf courses, and beach shops stretched on for miles. We boarded the Skywheel in Myrtle Beach for panoramic views of the surrounding area. I'm not usually a fan of amusement park rides but this one was pleasant with air conditioning and a comfortable seat.

 
We wrapped up our visit with a round at Mount Atlanticus Minotaur Goff. No, this is not a typo. The course has seen better days but it runs up and down over 5 stories and was different our flat courses in Oregon.

We continued to be blessed with amazing weather and are enjoying the little things like falling asleep with the window open and eating meals outside.
