I did a year of engineering school in Charleston so I was there for some time. Go to the market (its on market street ;) ) There is a lot to see there. Bubba gumps is good, but there are a million other great restaraunts. If you like seafood, just walk down the roads around market street, you have to try the crab cakes, delicious. And there is a great steak house/brewery down there too, but I forgot what its called. I know its kind of cheesy, but you should take a horse tour through the city, they set up near the market. The guides know everything and there is a lot of history in charleston. Houses that were damaged during the war, ghost stories, where they filmed movies, etc. Don't drive North, you'll hit some hard ghetto, just stay in the city. Not sure if you were looking for things to do but there's some. As far as driving, Charleston hosts some of the worst drivers in the world...the dually is the least of your worries :eek: Hope you have fun, its a great city.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

a lot of history in that town we go down there every year on a boat trip alot of good boating in and around there :D

Hey I tradded the dog in for a gold fish, Its much quieter now. Na hes not driving me to nuts.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

i'll be there thursday..not sure how long we are staying. Last time I was there we went to the rooftop at Vindu Inn. I know thats not spelled right but the place was pretty cool. Its hard not to find a good time downtown.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Got time 34, Im not worried about the ghetto, Ive got my 2 leged attack dog with me. We went to sticky fingers last nite, our eyes were bigger than the stomach. Took the truck to isle of palms yesterday, ended up spending the whole day there. Brian i guess scooter misses his buddy. were going to magnolia manor today. met some people from choo-choo town last nite. they have a smaall sea ray. (52ft).

Re: Charleston SC.
 

I spent summers at my grandmothers on the Isle of Palms...loved it!! If you get a chance, try a boat ride thru there. The area is really beautiful! Plus, a lot of the homes at the Wild Dunes and surrounding areas were rebuilt after Hugo so there are some NICE places to see on the water. One suggestion, make sure you go to RB's at Shem Creek and have dinner...the food is really good! :D

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Brian,
We're in Charleston and we've been trying to put the boat in the water for the last two days. Still may get out this afternoon if this crappy weather ever breaks. Yall are welcome to ride along if we ever make it out. Tuesday....

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Don't anyone feel that it might be risky to take Brian and his wife out for a ride. I met them at the shootout this year, and they are good people! Hope to see them and young Brian again in the future. Myabe shootout next year!

Re: Charleston SC.
 

My dad did two stints at the Navy base there when I was a kid. We went there this past Fourth of July. The town has changed a lot. It was a nasty, dirty, rundown city when we lived there. It's a very nice tourist friendly place now. We used to live on the Isle of Palms. I still hate that old bridge, it looked like they were almost finished with the new bridge when we were there.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

That old bridge was a nightmare for sure! They had just opened up the new bypass after I moved down there back in '93. Had a vette then and used to love driving from my apartment on the Ashley river to Sullivans Island over the new bridge . The Windjammer was the place to go over there back then; although, it was really a beach/summer hang out.

Check out Foley Beach too if you like the beach atmosphere. I remember the drive down there used to be like driving out to the country....the low country. Bet that has changed now though.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

We go down a couple of times a year. Have boated all the way from Myrtle Beach to Savannah.

Charleston is our favorite.

As for the dually, PARK it and go by taxi.

Go to "Poogins Porch" for breakfast on morning. It is GREAT!

Hanks Seafood down town by the slave market is very good as well.

Make sure you get over to Patriots Point and take the boat ride out to Fort Sumpter, and tour the aircraft carrier, sub and battle ship.

Our favorite place to go my boat is "Shem Creek". GREAT food over there with three restaurants. The food at RB's is very good.

Enjoy.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Hey Dock! You guys gonna make another trip this way before it gets cold??

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Only if you promise me a ride in that new CAT!! :D

Yes, we are looking forward to getting back down there. Jeff and I will both be towing down on November 11th for a long weekend.

Praying for good weather!

You better let the "Auto Relocation Specialist" know we are coming!

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Hey Lee,

Here's a couple of pictures of your old boat, from our last trip down.

Dock

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Well I'll be damned!!! I'm actually gonna be IN TOWN this time, don't have any shoots booked and I won't book anything now that I know your coming. We will plan on meeting you guys out and you can naturally have that ride.

Brent is tempted, but I still can't get him in the Cat! lol...lol...

The weather never got any better here today so we never put the boat in. 3 days of shoot now for "Americas Most Wanted" so I'll be busy for the next couple of days.

Now I can't wait for the weekend of the 11th!! Looking forward to catching up with you guys. We'll make sure to get a sitter for Saturday.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

Doc holiday, Were you at Loto? If so i think i might have talked to some of your group at the launch ramp on sunday nite after all the runs were done. My wife and I were putting an old blue and white scarab on a trailer. At Tan Tara resort. Brian P.S. Thanks for all replys weve had a nice time here, but im going to get my knees in the breeze today. I would like to get home so i can get the motors out of the barge before the weather turns really cold.

Re: Charleston SC.
 

No, sorry that was not me.

Enjoy Charleston.
