Bikers explore the park

Jerry Gardner and Elaine Smith of Conway were among the first people at the park for its grand opening.
Though they're motorcyclists, they left their bike at home for the morning because of the rain.

"It's kind of wet right now," Garder said as they waited for the gates to open. "We'll go back and get them."

Behind them in the parking lot were vendor tents set up for the bike rally that launched today, the first year the hub for the Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association Myrtle Beach Rally was at Hard Rock Park instead of the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

Gardner and Smith came to the park to check out the park's rides and the food.

"You can eat just about anything you want to in there," Gardner said.

I drove by Hard Rock Park yesterday and the areas set up with biker vendors/activities was an eery, "ghost town" until later in the afternoon before the Kid Rock show.
