Georgetown, SC 4‐16

Decided to ride two 70 mile days, rather than three 50 mile ones,  and take a day off in Charleston.  So left sunset Beach, and road 5 miles into SC for breakfast deal at local-type place.  South Carolina seems much wealthier than NC- nicer, well kept houses, and developments strangely still named plantations.   Nice riding on back roads when we remembered to use greenway map, vs the Google map.  Some great stretches along the beach too.  Pushed on to Myrtle Beach, and took a go-kart break - Sinclair winning the first heat, Frankel roaring back in the 2nd despite being t-boned.  Fun times.  After oceanside lunch, during which we received photos of the snow in Boston, we found great trail through the woods in Huntington Beach state park. One more diversion around the highway but then 8 unpleasant miles on the shoulder of 17. Roads named weird around here - kings river,  Duke,  queen st. Turns out Lafayette came to georgetown to help the Americans defeat the British in 1777.  Town has many historic and beautiful homes,, and good carribean food.  And an active synagogue founded in 1904.  Who'd have known. 71 miles + 3 to dinner.  And 3 flats.
