The Three RVs headed south diverting for a quick stop in
Savanna where we walked the streets towards the waterfront. That is
where we met the maiden waving at the departing ships. We don't know
too much about the legend but there she was. From the looks of her, she
has been there for a while.

Campground here in Jekyll might become one
of our favorites. RV Jule, RV Moony, and RV Legend are in adjoining
sites in a heavily treed (pines and palms) environment. Not bad.
Yesterday, we rented bicycles and explored the island. One of our first
stops was driftwood beach near the northeast tip of the island. There,
we could see some truly remarkable scenes of island evolution.

The gang stopped for a breather at the local marina. The
day's weather was a bit nippy but not bad for late January.
Poor Ann is not in many of the pictures as
she is the primary photographer of this mission. She resists pictures of herself. That should change
soon. Quite a motley crew, Si?

Miniature golf in January was more than interesting ... it was a lot of
|
fun.
We all were really bad but who was counting. We played the 'pro' course
where we were anything but pros. Afterwards, we headed for the Dairy
Queen where we all loaded up on Blizzards or similar health food goodies.

As the sun was getting ready to set, we headed for the
really big fishing pier near the northern point of the island. There is
a narrow channel that heads out to the ocean and large vessels from
mainland pass through on a regular basis. They do get close to each
other and the pier. We had an interesting sunset there where a strange
halo covered the setting sun. The photograph did a proper job of
capturing the phenomenon. No green flash afterwards though.

The Three RVs did not move the three days we were
here. Butch and
Vicki slept in a tent rather than in their conversion van. The
Firemeister kept the fires blazing each evening and the last night saw
hot dogs and marshmallows burning. Are they supposed to turn black? Ann
and Bob skipped the black marshmallows and kept their hot dogs less than
crispy.

Did we mention the Dairy Queen. The first time visit was
part of an healthy exercise program with a bit of sin mixed in. Here
you can see the fleet of rented bicycles. The second visit had similar
goals but we forgot the healthy exercise program. However, it was just
as rewarding. With all good things, time is running out on our second
land voyage. Ann, Bob, Vicki, and Butch will head back to their
respective homeports while Denise and Wolfgang will continue their
journey South to Mickey Mouse land and points west. This RV stuff is
not bad!
