From Bears to Gators

Not that we've seen any of either, but there's always that possibility. Saturday night we were camped by a mountain stream in a narrow hollow surrounded by pines and fall color. Last night we were in a huge flat site with palmettos and oaks dripping with Spanish moss.

We are at Skidaway Island State Park near Savannah. It's a beautiful park with great facilities. (Only one hook in each shower, though.) Of course, as my mother would have said, it should be at the price. Iowa still has the best state park camping bargains that we've run into. But this is a great place for bike riding for those of us who look for flat trails and, as I said, very spacious sites.

Our trip here was all down hill. Literally. The only frustration was seeing $1.87 gas and not being able to get near the pumps with our rig. By the time we got set up here, it was time for supper so it was 'Encore Buffet' night: some leftover rice with chicken strips thrown in and leftover stew on bread. The Moosetracks ice cream was new however.

We are anxious to explore Savannah. We have heard so much about it. And today is our 52nd anniversary (as well as 232 years since the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown) so we will find some way to celebrate.

Walk along the waterfront in Savanah. We always stop at Kevin Barry's Irish Pub to hear music and have a Guinness. Enjoy your trip
