Moving Forward In & Around …

Murrells Inlet

In the Car … On the Road Again driving from Charlotte, North Carolina to Murrells Inlet, South Carolina for some Deep Sea Fishing.

At Murrells Inlet … Let’s Keep Moving Forward to See What We Can See.

Alex Marina

Moving Forward into the Gulf Stream for some Deep Sea Fishing…

The South Wind pulls alongside the pier … excited fishermen watching “patiently” for their turn to go out on the boat.

This was a trip my dad made with my paternal uncle (my dad’s sister’s husband.) Not sure if anyone else went along or not, I do not recall. My dad & Shorty ( my uncle) decided to go deep sea fishing 🎣 and drove the three (3) hours to Murrells Inlet to go out on a charter fishing boat for the day.

Captain Alex’s Marina once stood along the creek front of Murrells Inlet and was first established in the early 1950’s. Murrells Inlet is a fantastic destination just thirty (30) short miles south of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It is considered to be the “seafood capital of South Carolina.”

The land around Murrells Inlet has an historical record of human settlement that goes back thousands of years, before written history. The history includes English colonial settlements and plantations which raised various crops from indigo to rice. An interesting note is that the fishing village of Murrells Inlet was once the lair of the infamous pirate Blackbeard. Today, it’s an outdoorsman’s dream.

Come on and climb in the “boat” with us. We can make room for one or two more. It’s gonna be a fun ride, just you wait and see.

We’re moving forward, our turns coming up.

The ride lets boats go first from one side and then the other side. Our turn is next. Get ready. It’s our turn.

Moving forward along the ride we are going up, up, up …

2024 Sunday Stills: Groups in Monochrome

Groups Moving Forward

It’s been raining quite a bit here with thunderstorms today as well as off and on all week. Therefore, I decided to comb through my arch to see what I could come up with to (hopefully) satisfy the themes. I’m combining Sunday Stills, Becky’s Squares-Moving Forward, Throwback Thursday, and Leanne’s Monochrome Madness (couldn’t find the theme for this one.)

The last two photos were taken by my dad on his 35mm camera. I’m not sure what brand of camera he used in the mid-60’s. These last two photos were taken in Disneyland in May of 1966.

Moving Forward Through the Desert

Come on along for the ride, we’re just gonna meander around through the desert here in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Growing up in San Diego, California my church youth group would practically make annual camping trips out to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Several church families would bring their dune buggies, dirt bikes and give rides to the enthusiastic youth.

Ever since that time period, I have loved to go camping and hiking. I love being out in nature and my grandson, Coleman is learning to love and enjoy it as well.

Pictured here are actually two separate church camping trips; one in May of 1968 and the other in June of 1969. Those were the good old days my friends.

2024 CWWC: May — Squared Lancaster’s Way

Moving Forward at

Lindsay Pettus Greenway

The forward thinking of concerned citizens, volunteers, business partners, and in partnership with the Katawba Valley Land Trust; the ideas, planning, and reconstruction of certain areas into a Greenway of trails in Lancaster began to develop beginning in 2014. The Greenway includes numerous pedestrian connections with linkages to residential, commercial, and local school properties, trail heads, and nature centers, bridge crossings, and sidewalk improvements.

Comporium Communications Trail Access is the starting point for Coleman’s and my hike along the first phase of the Greenway’s Master Plan. The first phase of the Reconstruction of Land in Lancaster was completed in 2019. Our hike took place in February of 2022.

As we moved forward in our adventure, we encountered several informational signs which were a tremendous help in guiding us as we moved forward along the Greenway.

Coleman and I decided to move forward together along the nature trail towards creek overlook and eventually the Wetlands Overlook.

Here Coleman takes a minute to look out over the bridge at the creek below.

Coleman can’t resist climbing on the bridges railing at this next point or interest.

Informational Signs are located strategically throughout the Greenway. This particular one gives information about out the Lindsay Pettus Greenway and Lindsay Pettus himself.

The forward thinking of Mr. Lindsay Pettus and the many volunteers ensured the Greenway is and will continually be accessible to everyone regardless of their mobility needs.
