Everyone got up reasonably early and we headed back down south to the Golden Egg restaurant for breakfast.
After eating, we went to the Harley shop for some last minute shopping and browsing.
After falling short of buying all of the merchandise at the Harley shop, we motored up to the Hard Rock amusement park. Harley-Davidson (corporate) was set up with demo rides on the latest model bikes, and it was also the location for HOG members (Harley Owner's Group) to pick up event pins to wear on jackets.
The amusement park did not look too busy, but then I guess that all of the motorcycles and bikers in the area for the week probably discouraged a lot of folks from visiting the attractions.
Everyone was getting hungry for lunch so we headed back up to North Myrtle for lunch at Dick's Last Resort. We needed to introduce the newest members of our group to a little good natured insulting service.
The restaurant is right next door to Barefoot Landing, where Deb had the new handlebars installed on her bike. About half of the group decided to walk around the displays again and the rest of us went back to the resort to rest and pack for the trip to the Outer Banks tomorrow. Just to make sure that ferry times were what I remembered seeing, I double checked the website for the NC ferry system. I was stopped in my tracks by the word "reservations". Hey.......we ain't got no stinkin' reservations! I called the Cedar Island ferry depot and found that reservations were needed! The earliest ferry that we could all get on at the same time was at 1400 hrs. Each vehicle needed a separate reservation number. I stayed on the phone for what must have been close to 20 minutes just getting numbers for all of us. At least they allowed me to put all of the individual reservations in one name.
Nancy, a friend of Mark's had spent time with us off and on during the week. She went on rides with us and shared in a lot of the week's activities. We were happy to have her as part of the group and I think that everyone would like to look her up if we get back to the Myrtle Beach area again. She gave us a gift certificate for $180.00 to a rib restaurant called Sticky Fingers so that we could all have a good meal on her. What a class act!When everyone got back to the resort, we went to Sticky Fingers for dinner. It was wonderful and everyone had a good time.
Back to the resort and everyone packed and did laundry for the ride early tomorrow morning.
It has been a great visit to Myrtle Beach.
