Happy Halloween!

I know - I should have swept the pad before taking the picture.

Warmest Halloween we've had on the east coast in quite some time.  We here in Longs, SC at the Willow Tree RV Resort for the week & getting in some visiting time with Pete & Mary.  This is one of our many planned stops as we make a slow trip to Gulf State Park in Alabama for the winter.

Willow Tree is a really nice RV Resort.  But if your intention is to visit Myrtle Beach, you may want to consider other RV parks in the area that are closer in.  We're about 20 minutes away from North Myrtle Beach.  Willow Tree, itself, is nice with beach, swimming pool, paved roads, paved sites & patios, some sites with hot tubs, individual restrooms with showers, and some sites built to pull into so that your motor home's windshield faces the lake.

This photo is the main complex.   Hard to see behind the bridge, but there's a small dock for "non-fuel" powered boats (think electric trolling motor).  The path you see is a walk/bike path around the lake.  Depending on the route you take, it's almost a mile & a half around the place.

This picture gives you a better look at the RV sites that face the lake. Some back-in sites do exist.  There's no cable TV here, so view the park's map ahead of time & pick your site wisely if you plan to use your satellite antenna. (We got one of the last sites available - a handicapped site - & didn't.)  Local channels are pretty strong if you just want to use your over-the-air antenna.


Pete & Mary seem to be doing well.  They're volunteering at the local hospital two days a week and are thoroughly enjoying their life in South Carolina.  We'll go down later today and spend time with them plus watch the trick-or-treaters before heading back.  Oh, and we're getting a lot of dog time in, too, while there.

Next stop is Mt Pleasant, SC (just north of Charleston) for a week to visit Freeda and also visit the Slussers.  We're skipping the James Island County RV park because of the potential conflicts with our trailer's height and the low hanging limbs that decorated the roads in and around Charleston.

Anyway, that's the plan.  Later, David
