Our next stop is Myrtle Beach. We are attending a Grand Design Rally there the 27th to May 1st. We get here a week early so we can hook up with my High School friend and her husband who are here on vacation. I booked a week at Hideaway RV Resort in Socastee on the Inter-coastal waterway about 10 minutes from Myrtle Beach,
We spot a Lakewood Sign along the way, where the Rally is being held
We get to Hideaway
The park is right on the waterway.
Premium sites are across from the water, but don't have any shade.
Not too big, it has just over 100 sites and they are not cramped
We arrive on Wednesday and make plans to hook up with my friend later at their condo in Myrtle Beach. The next day we get together again. Just before we arrived in Myrtle Beach the Check Engine light came on so we called Hadwin GMC in Conway for an appointment early Friday morning. Thought it would be an easy fix but it was something to do with the fuel injectors so they would need the Truck all day. Call my friend and they came and picked us up and brought us back to the campground. Made plans for dinner that evening and they were going to drop us at the GMC dealer to pick up the truck but we got a call that they would be keeping the Truck. They replaced a fuel injector but it was still reading an error code and were waiting for a call from GMC. We had a great dinner at Bonefish Grill I finally got to try Black Cod - it did not disappoint!
Meanwhile we get a call from GMC Monday that they discovered the problem and it need a specialized part to repair so who knows when we will get the Truck back, hopefully before Wednesday when we have to go to the Rally.
So we just relax at the RV park because there are also no rental cars to be had and my friend has gone back home. They have a small fishing pond with a trail around it.
Fortunately late Monday we get a call that they found the part locally and it will be ready by 5 pm. They send a courtesy car to pick us up.
The next day we head to the Beach we find a parking spot and I go to pay but see a sign that we don't need to pay. Unfortunately when we get back there is a ticket on the windshield. We head to the Parking violations office to protest. I state that the sign said no payment needed before May 1st. She replied it said March 1st. I got my picture out and said Oops! Why would they abbreviate March!?! Apparently a lot of people make the same mistake. They waived the ticket a first time offense.
Looks like there will be a new hotel soon

Back at the RV Park I spot this bluebird and worm. A sign that we should get an early start to our next spot at Lakewood RV Resort tomorrow
