After six beautiful days at Indian Pass, we said goodbye to Wendy and Carl and hit the road by 8:30. Trying to avoid the interstates as much as possible we drove across southeastern Georgia, through some classic Southern towns lined with live oak trees covered in Spanish moss. Passed lots of roadside stands selling Tupelo honey, peanuts, pecans, & shrimp.

Stopped in Valdosta for a delicious fried chicken lunch. We arrived at Skidaway Island State Park, which is just south of Savannah around 5:30 PM. Our mileage for today was 370. The high temp was 82, and the sky was blue all day long. The campground was beautiful, and immaculate, clearly reinforcing our feeling that Georgia has the best state campgrounds.
Dinner was at the campsite, nothing fancy, just peanut butter, saltines, and a glass of milk for me. Joni opted for a more traditional PB&J sandwich. Having suffered from the Southern version of Montezuma's Revenge for the past two days, the bland menu was welcome.
Peanut butter and Saltines. Always a treat. Looking forward to photos of your time in Savannah and environs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us up to date on Joni..... Time flies; it seems like you just got to Wendy and Carl's yesterday.... See you back North of the Mason Dixon soon...

Those must be live oaks in Georgia. How beautiful they are--almost enough to make me want to live there! I hope you have had a lovely warm stay in the south! It was more than a gift to spend a couple of days with you both. Joy
