Savannah Revisited

We're on the road again, currently at a KOA near Fayetteville, NC. Our next destination will be near Richmond, VA, but only for a couple days due to a reservation and concert tickets in Hershey, PA. The last week, we were camping at Skidaway State Park near Savannah, GA. We were camped in the trees meaning no internet or Sat TV, so this entry will be a catch up.

The photos above show the campsite. As seems to be the norm for this trip, the rains chased us into the park and stayed for 2 days. However, the skies cleared and we did have a couple good days, thought the sun came out with a vengence.




Savannah is one of our favorite cities having fine dining, museums, historical significance, and ghosts. What more can you ask. In particular, I love the way this city is layed out and houses and structures with great architectural touches. Easy to get around in and fun to look at. And the food, if you can't find something great to your liking, then you have dead taste buds and should see a doc. The pictures above depict River st, a dining moment at the Shrimp Factory restaurant, the Market (artsy stuff and more great places to eat), and a shot of Broughton St taken from a trolley.




Any of you who have followed my past entries know hat I have a fondness for kayaking. I availed myself of the waters surrounding the State park and enjoyed a good day in the sloughs. Of course my kayak adventure has to include an identifying foot shot to authenticate the journey. A nice paddle revealing many birds and lots of fiddler crabs on the banks. And added surprise was that I encountered dolphins out on the main river course. No pictures as they were plying the banks for dinner and made for a hard catch by the camera. Hot and steamy, the paddle was great anyway.




Oh, and I did mention interesting houses and historical places. For Christa this meant a visit to the Mercer/Williams house where the infamous murder that spawned the book and movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. No pictures were allowed in the house, so the top left pic of the front of the house (with Christa) is a solo shot. We also took a trip to Tybee Island to look at points of interest. There are beaches of course, but the top right photo of a house really caught my attention. Beautiful. We also visited Fort Polaski, a significant confederate fortress that was eventually captured and converted to a prison. I really liked this site as there was a lot of martial science on display. A site well worth visiting with more than I am posting here.

Tomorrow we depart to continue our trek to the north. See you on the road.
