Savannah, Ft Pulaski and Tybee Island with the Sultan

[BirdbyBird]

I have been trying for three days to post this but the RV site knocks me out because this connection is soooo slow…..but here we try again.

Yep, Doc drove Lori and I on the Savannah, Ft Pulaski, Tybee Island Tour.

Since I had previously done the walk around the Squares and a Tour in a carriage with the DD several years ago....the Savannah part was short and sweet.





This is the picture of the "boat" Lori and I thought we could stand to float around on for a month or so..


I always like the cobble stones down by the waterfront and think of all that they have had pass over them.



The warehouses down by the waterfront.



I enjoyed the Ft and the architecture of the surroundings......Lori already showed you pictures of the "piper". The sounds coming across the parade grounds were very ethereal....



The entrance to one of the underground storage bunkers...





The entrance to the fort.



Ms Lori....





I love the colors on the bricks....



Places for soldiers...


Places for the prisoners.....




Who was that mysterious man?


Ernie (Doc) pointed out that they even had houseplants....



The piper, Lori and Doc.....


Looking out one of the canon port holes.....


This picture demonstrates why the fort became sort of useless when it was discovered that it could not survive the new artillary.



But it was suppose to protect the waterways into Savannah..







After the Ft tour, Doc made sure that I could find the best restaurant on Tybee Island, The Crab Shack, if I should ever get back on my own......


Run Liz run. You might not be so lucky this time.....


The story of alligators.....






Know any of these people...



Doc with Captain Jack....

Doc pointed out the tops of the privacy fence...pretty unique...



And I like their outdoor lamp treatment....



And then we headed to the beach....can you read the height markers regarding the surges....



And these beach pictures are for Sarah so that she can hear the surf....it was very SURFFY....

Do people actually take off their shoes to eat? I'm guessing that would be against Health Dept. rules. Thanks for the pics, Tina, glad you had fun with Lori and Doc.

What a hoot. We stopped in Savannah while driving to NC for Christmas. Love that town. Missed Tybee Island, so thanks for the tour. How can you go wrong with a Sultan in the lead carold

I'm envious!
Thanks for taking the time to share.

Kelly says that on the sign for surge elevation that the very top should read, "We're gone!"

Most excellent pictures. And I know you had an fantastic time with Lori and Ernie!!! And Spinner too.

Oh, By the way, I posted only 1 "butt" picture of you....you got 2 of me....

I read a blog by a single RVing lady named Gypsy. She is currently workcamping there at Fort Pulaski in the gift shop. Some of you might find her blog interesting. http://gypsy97.blogspot.com/

So I figured that it takes two shots of your petite butt to make one of mine besides I did get you with the bagpiper.......Thank you again for inviting me and for not declining when you realized that I would actually come find you When I go places with other people...I generally see things that I would not have seen had I gone by myself....not to mention your "magic" card that got us in to see the fort for free! And quiet BJ....Spinner and Herschel, et al....were not told of all the adventures that we had.....they stayed home and protected the rigs.......

Thank you for another wonderful tour.
I appreciate the beach with surf even if I didn't get to hear it. I'm so jealous.
Weather looking nasty for the weekend; be careful when you leave (or just stay put a little longer).

Hey, Tina....Bet that was that lady who told us she was workamping ...remember she was in the visitors center....

And another great tour that I missed! Sigh. One of these days! I especially want to go to that crab shack....unfortunately the Sultan and Lori are only there in the winter and I'm only out and on tour in the summer. Sigh.
