Easy rider
Normally trying to ride a bike in sand is like trying to wade through shin-deep mud. Not on Hilton Head's South Forest Beach, where the tide's ebb and flow has created a surface so densely packed that bike tires barely leave a mark.
Beyond that, the entire island is easy riding because it's as flat as a basketball court. They call HH and the surrounding area “the low country" with good reason: The highest point on the island is a mere 10 feet above sea level.
A single gear is all you'll ever need.

NBA star Kyrie Irving, Tyler Perry, Fantasia, and other Black celebrities are helping a 93-year-old South Carolina woman who is fighting to keep her land in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
For nearly 30 years, Josephine Wright has lived at her Hilton head property, a 1.8-acre piece of land that's belonged to her family since shortly after the Civil War, per the Atlanta Black Star.
A GoFundMe account was started by Wright's granddaughter, Charise Graves, as developers are now threatening to take her land. Wright is facing a lawsuit over property line issues filed by Bailey Point Investment LLC, a development company constructing a 147-unit neighborhood that would intrude on her land.
Wright’s family believes the lawsuit is intended to coerce her into selling her home, and they are raising money to combat the legal fees. The family started with an initial goal of raising $250,000 but with the help of Irving, who donated $40,000, it's been raised to $350,000.
Perry also spoke out about Wright's situation, saying she "has a village behind her." His public statements sparked more support from the likes of Fantasia, actress Gabrielle Dennis, former Food Network star Gina Neely, gospel singer Tina Campbell, and rapper Meek Mill.
Irving still holds the largest donation to the GoFundMe. As of Tuesday (July 18), over $245,000 had been raised.

Our top beach road trips for this summer
Summer is coming and we don't know about you, but we're ready to hit the sand. Summer is the perfect time to take to the open road and visit new places, and there are plenty of beaches that are a perfect road-trip distance away from Charlotte. Here are Toyota of N Charlotte's top four picks for the best beaches to visit this summer!
Outer Banks: The Outer Banks are close - Charlotte is about six hours away, so it's a perfect weekend road trip. While there you can explore more than 200 miles of shoreline for swimming, walking, surfing, skimboarding, fishing, and watching the sky change colors at sunrise and sunset. You can also check out where Blackbeard fought his last battle, as well as where the Wright Brothers first took flight.
Tumblr media
Ocean City: Ocean City is in Maryland, about an 8-hour road trip from Toyota of N Charlotte. It's famed for its wide, sandy beaches, delicious crab dishes, and an incredible boardwalk that features arcade games, souvenirs, and even an amusement park.
Tumblr media
Hilton Head: Head South to Hilton Head - it's in South Carolina and about four hours from Charlotte. The beaches there are hard-packed so they're perfect for walking, biking, and running. You'll also find boutique hotels and fine dining, as well as spas and golf courses situated around the island.
Tumblr media
Destin: If you want to feel like you're somewhere in the Bahamas, make the 9.5-hour road trip down to Destin, FL. The waters are clear blue, the white sand is sugar-soft, and the fishing and swimming are out of this world. Plus, you'll get a break from the waves in the warm, calm Gulf of Mexico.
Tumblr media
Whether you want to prep your car for a summer road trip to the beach or find a new Toyota that's ready for the open road, we can help! Call Toyota of N Charlotte today at (704) 875-9199.

2022 Hilton Head Island Lantern Parade 11.12.22 :: [Steve Eberhardt]
* * * *
“There is two things that tickle the fancy of our citizens, one is let him act on a committee, and the other is promise him to let him walk in a parade. What America needs is to get more mileage out of our parades.”

Reflections
I guess I don't have to tell you that i'm having a blast with my new camera down here in the Low Country.
The lush flora and fascinating fauna of this barrier island make it a picture-taker's paradise - especially in contrast to the shades of gray that dominated the Michigan landscape when we fled in late January.
It's a joy to roam the island taking pictures, then slide the camera's SD card into my laptop to rediscover what's there.
In these three photos we have one heron, three turtles and one alligator ... plus their reflections.

Sporting the original Disney Vacation Club logo featuring "a Mickey-eared sun rising above snow-capped mountains flanked by swaying palms and fronted by rolling waves," this can stands waiting to be used at Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort. The original logo was retired in 2011, replaced with something far more boring. // Disney Vacation Club, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort, 2010 [Source: MrEPCOT. Used by Permission.]
