We have arrived at probably one of the more quintessential cities of the South. While we will be here for 5 nights, it will be a busy time. A lot of things on our list to see and do. I normally try and post real time information. What I mean is that i transfer photos from camera, select the one's that hopefully convey what I am trying to say, re-size them then post daily. That way you see a glimpse of what we experienced on a given day. May not be able to do that here, or the next stop. Will do the best I can. More people reading this than I ever imagined and I feel the pressure. Mr Kelty, my English teacher from high school, would wonder what has happened to the world!
Google Earth, point the way!
Now lest y'all are thinking we are out slumming in the boondocks, a little enlightenment for you.
Skidaway Island is an exclusive census-designated place (CDP) in Chatham County, Georgia, United States. The population was 8,341 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Savannah Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is one of the most affluent communities in the United States. The island is well known for its waterfront properties and golf courses within The Landings, one of the largest gated communities in the country. Skidaway Island is home to the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, a research institution operated by the University of Georgia and used by scholars and researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Savannah State University and College of Coastal Georgia.

In fact, less than a PGA drive from our humble camper you could own a home on a golf course, providing you have deep pockets! A word about campgrounds might be in order. To find campgrounds I utilize rvparkreviews, tripadvisor and anything I can find on line. Reading reviews if overall pretty good I consider it. If multiple decent sounding parks where i want to be then price can be a tie breaker. The last campground, Jekyl Island was one that seemed OK. Maybe for others, for us no. Mary could not leave soon enough. Now we are at Skidaway, a state park. Would stay here the max 14 days if time allowed. You sometimes never know till arrival. Because of location this park at high end of what I will pay, $36 a night. While nice, the corp of engineer park at Bunker Hill was just as nice for a discounted $12 per night. If over 62 get your parklands pass. Has paid for itself many times over. Just some detail you might not have thought about, or maybe you were wondering. Of course in many areas there is always the Wal-Mart parking lot...
And with that our home for next 5 days y'all!
Historic downtown Savannah tomorrow...
