The cache is located in little known seldom used park in North Myrtle Beach. The park is named after Nicholas Frink pioneer, planter and landowner. He was born in 1696 and died in 1749.
When the King of England purchased the rights to the Carolinas from Lords Proprietors in 1729 a plan was formulated to attract settlers to this large unsettled land. The King's council offered 50 acres to each man, woman and child, including slaves, who would come and settle the land. The scheme worked and settlers came, not only from England and Europe, but from other American colonies.
Nicholas Frink was a son of John Frink and his wife Hannah Prentice of New London, CT, where many of the early Frinks had settled. The father of Hannah was John Prentice, a sea captain, supplying the coastal waters between New England and the Carolinas.
Prentice was probably influential in attracting Nicholas Frink to the Carolinas. Nicholas came here in 1734 with his large family and settled on what is today known as Little River Neck after purchasing 500 acres of land and the land for many years afterward it was known as "Frink's Neck". The area is located between the salt marshes behind Waites Island and the Little River.
On May 4, 1996 the Chicora Chapter of the Colonial Dames 17TH Century held a dedication ceremony at the site of this park to honor the Frink name of Little River Neck.
The park itself, which is maintained by Horry County, has a walkway and stairs down to a platform with a seat overlooking the marsh. It also has a picnic table if you are inclined to bring a picnic lunch. The park is only about 30' wide but has a lovely view out over the marsh and overlooking the end of Cherry Grove.
Please replace the cache as you found it and in the summer use some stealth as the park may be quite busy. Please be careful and not park in front of anyones driveway as the parking is limited. You can park in front of the fence facing the park. Cache also contains a FTF pin.
CONGRATULATIONS TO DIGNDIRT ON FTF!!!!!!!!!!
