SAVANNAH, OH MY!!!



Well we made it! Barely. More on that in a bit. When daybreak came across the lake in South Carolina Tim and I were able to take Jett for a nice long walk to explore the park before we left. What a great little place. Hidden gem of South Carolina for sure. We have put this on our must return list. Little Pee Dee State Park would even be a great place to spend a week or few days on a long quiet weekend to get away. 


Back to our arrival in Savannah . . .since we were coming from the north Lee Garminita had us cut over sooner cutting the corner and saving us time and miles. The route was great until we realized she was taking us right through historic downtown while towing the Airstream. It was a tad bit of a nail biting experience. Oh and then that road abruptly became a construction zone with the ROAD CLOSED!!! Good times. 


When we finally got turned around there was no other choice but to head back into town. Then travel across town while towing the Airstream to get around this closure. Only to find the next ramp over, that we needed in order to get on the interstate, where we were headed for in the first place was . . . you guessed it closed off due to construction. After we took more back roads through multiple neighborhoods paralleling the interstate we finally got on the interstate and safely to our final destination of the day. 


Yea!!! Phewwww. Here we are now at Skidaway Island State Park in Savannah. We have only been to the campground so far and will begin exploring tomorrow. Tim and I hope the rest of our time here will be better than how it started today. Savannah has been the one stop on this adventure that I have been most excited about. I can't wait to get into the historic downtown area. Skidaway is a very lovely park with tall pines and moss draped oaks. The site we are in I think is the best one in the entire park and a good guess would estimate it at 150' in length. Just gorgeous!!!

Finally home! What was supposed to be a seven hour drive became ten. We had a few stops along the way that added a little time.  But it the...
