Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

On March 3, we began our trip to Myrtle Beach to visit with my brother Larry and his wife Linda at their condo. The visibility through the mountains of Pensylvania, West Virginia and Virginia was limited, due to snow showers. All the pictures that follow were either taken at Myrtle or on the way home.

View of the Front of the Condo

At the complex, five or six condo units shared a private pond. This is the view from the back screened in porch of the condo. Ducks, blue herons, and egrets were common sights on the pond.

All of the condos were located on the edge of "The Wizard" golf course. The tee off area for the 15th hole was located right across the pond from our porch. This picture was taken from the edge of the rough.


Here is a view of the kitchen/dining area of the condo. A lovely unit with lots of room, 2 kingsize beds, 2 baths and every room decorated in the golfing theme. Surprise, surprise!

Of course, while we were there, we ate lots of seafood. One of our favorite spots was Pier 14, a lovely spot complete with a fishing pier.

Here is a picture of the Myrtle Beach gang!

One of the many mountain cuts through West Virginia

We encountered 2 long tunnels on the way. This one is Walker Mountain Tunnel in West Virginia.

This is the New River Gorge in West Virginia, averaging 1000 feet in depth. Very pretty!



The new river gorge bridge is the largest single span arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere. On the third Saturday in October each year, the bridge is closed to traffic and bungee jumpers take part in Bridge Day.

Of course, we were anxious to see Chloe again. On the trip home from the kennel, she immediately fell asleep in the back seat of the car. It took her two days to recuperate!

This photo tells it all - dog tired!!!!
