We left Carrabelle Beach RV Resort Monday, May 7 about 9 AM, arriving in Tallahassee at the jeep dealer about 10:30. Lindy related the song and dance....then we drove on up to the RV Park to wait it out....We laughed when they called with the problem....a note from late March...our check list for things to do before we left Destiny RV Resort in Goodyear for our new lot in North Ranch--had somehow gotten into the fan, and was making the noise we heard! They saved the note for us....!

So, Tuesday we were on the road again for Savannah, GA! It is so great to be moving on down the road!  We saw trees with Spanish Moss in Tallahassee, but Savannah...! Wow! Check out our site!

Wednesday it rained on and off most of the day, so we "rested" and cleaned house. Today we drove out to Fort Pulaski National Monument, at the mouth of the Savannah River, part of an extensive chain of coastal forts built to protect the US from foreign invasion. Construction of this fort began in 1829 and required 18 years and 25 million bricks to complete. It survives as one of the nation's best preserved fortifications! It is named after a Polish hero of the American Revolution who lost his life in the unsuccessful siege of Savannah in 1779.

Bricks made it solid...but under siege by the Union with new rifled cannons it was apparent that changes in construction of forts such as Fort Pulaski were critical with the treat of this new weapon of war. You'll notice in the pictures a moat around the fort and a drawbridge.

We drove out to Tybee Island from the Fort, to view the light house, then we drove over to Hilton Head....walked to the beach, and returned! A fun day!
