Seriously. Every other car I'd see while vacationing last week had OHIO tags. Why the hell did they drive all the way down to Myrtle Beach for the week? Surely there are other (and nicer) beaches closer aren't there (mapquest says 662 miles from Columbus)? Some kind of exodus that I wasn't aware of?

haha Funny you should mention that. 3 car loads from Columbus that I know of just got back from Myrtle beach a week or so ago. I just got back from Greenville SC a month ago. Who knows. Pics from my trip

Nice beaches close to Ohio? Do you see where Ohio is located on a map?

Actually, I'm from MI so I understand the need to flee the boring expanse of whitebread middle-america that is Ohio. I just couldn't figure out why they drove so damn far. The NC outer banks are closer and MUCH nice than the Myrtle Beach area.

This is like the day that I saw nothing but plates from Texas on the Interstates around Birmingham, I was shocked and bewildered.

Myrtle Beach is good for stuff to do, but the beaches in NC are a lot nicer. I'm partial to Bald Head Island myself.

Well shouting obscenities at some, and others I was thinking nasty nasty nasty perverted thoughts about(one group of hot chicks). Most of the time I am too busy molesting children to get pics.

Ohio folk are lured in by the tourist traps that make Myrtle Beach the smut-town that it is. Ahh....with the Swamp Fox and the Pavillion you can't go wrong.

I know what you mean. We have a place at Cherry Grove and I always see tons of Ohio plates during the summer.

I think it's more like we go other places and find out they suck more.

So we come back ! :light:
