Vroom Vroom!

We arrived in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina today, just in time to learn that the town is hosting the 26th Annual "Run to the Sun" Car and Truck Show, sponsored by the Pee Dee Street Rodders.  Over 2600 hot rod cars and trucks have come to town and will be shown off by their owners all weekend.

We also learned that all the hot rods were planning to cruise Ocean Drive beginning at 5pm today.  Hey, just our luck!  We are staying only a few blocks from Ocean Drive!  We hastily ate dinner, packed our camp chairs and things, and pedaled over to Ocean Drive to catch seats for the big rolling car show!

Some of the hot rodders are in our campground.  We expect to hear the rugged sound of revving engines late into the night, as the revelers come back to the campground from their car show antics.  Those who are here but not involved in the car show are here for Spring Break.  Thank goodness the college students aren't here in the campground, but there are plenty of people who have kids off of school who decided to bring them down here for the week.

As a consequence, we expect a lot of "Camp TV" this weekend:  entertaining antics from the car show peeps and the Spring Break vacationers.  Tune into future blog entries to find out if we survive.

Until then, here are a few photos of some of the more "unique" hot rods we saw at the parade this evening:
