Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Contains the country's largest and most extensive sculpture collection of American Figurative Sculpture. Originally owned by plantation owners who made their money growing rice. Several became very rich in the early to mid 1800's. Descendants of the original owners turned it into these beautiful gardens in the early 1900's.
I loved these strange looking gourds.
Old slave cemetery from the early 1800's when they were growing rice. These slaves came from Africa where they were expert in growing rice. They made their owners very rich.
Site where the original plantation home was built. The foundation was the only thing left.
This oven was built by slaves to take the bran off of the rice. Not sure how this worked. It was very tall.
I rode the Ferris Wheel in Myrtle. Nice view of the pier below.
Looking south from the Ferris Wheel. Myrtle Beach has a very nice boardwalk area with shops and restaurants galore.
This was our campground in Myrtle Beach, Ocean Lakes Family Campground. Can't see how big it is, but it stretched all the way to the high rise on the right. Over 2,000 campsites.
It is Halloweek-end at the campground. It is full of kids and very noisy.
There must be hundreds of golf carts roaming around this campground.
