Kingsland To Tybee Island

Monday the 30th


NOTE: We currently have a slow net connection so I am unable to include photos in the blog. However, I have been able to upload all our photos.


Another beautiful day. The sun is out and it's about 62 degrees out. We had a quick breakfast and broke camp early. I -95 was busy, three lanes of 70 mph traffic for about 15 miles then it thinned out a little. I was looking forward to a nice easy drive up to Savannah. And I had one for the next 15 miles, then three lanes became two and we entered the "Thirty Mile Construction Zone", cue the echo chamber. Picture this --- two, eleven foot wide lanes. the inner lane with about a foot of paved edge. The outer lane with a continuous jersey barrier (except for exits) right next to the fog line. Heavy traffic. Me trying to herd 11 tons of steel down that outer lane at 60 mph with semis blowing past me on the inner lane. Oh yeah, and there are construction people and equipment everywhere. For thirty miles. Thirty continuous miles. Hairy!! But no mishaps, just a little frazzled, heheheh. But once through the rest of the drive was a cake walk.



We got to Savannah and circled around the north part of the city on I-16 which eventually dropped us onto a city street which, with a couple of turns took us to Bay Street and onto SR-80 all the way out to Tybee Island and Rivers End RV Campground. We pulled into the Park, registered and got the rig set up. We wanted to get in early so we could take a bike ride into Tybee center.



We ate lunch, walked the dogs and headed off for town. As we rounded the corner onto main street we cut over to one of the beach accesses and rode out onto the beach. Another flat wide beach with lots of shells and gently rolling waves. Nice. We rode down the beach for another mile until we passed under the Tybee Pier. Then we cut up into town and checked out the Marine Science Center, a nice educational facility especially for the kids. From there we rode to the end of town and turned around, riding back down main street to the local bike shop. We wanted to find out about about the bike trails. After we got our information it was time to head back. We rode through town then cut back to the beach and continued around the point passing from the Atlantic shore to the Tybee River shore where we crossed the dunes back to our camp.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing, reading, walking the dogs and planning our stay in Savannah.
