Swans a swimming, geese a…walking!
Today was really grueling.
We had to drive a whole 43 miles to our new park in Hardeeville, SC.
But before we headed out, we walked down to the lake near our site to get a closeup look at the swans and geese we had seen from a distance.

We left out a little before noon and pulled into our new site about 1pm. It’s in a fairly heavily wooded area with a lot of nice trees and looks like this –

And two good things to report: My starter repair from yesterday is still holding up, and the new AC belt I put on about two weeks ago is still working.
After getting everything set up and settling in, we drove over to Savannah, about 10 miles away.
This was our first vist back to Savannah since we lived near here in 1970. One of the places we wanted to revisit was our favorite restaurant here in Savannah, The Pirate’s House, so we decided to have a late lunch there.
The Pirate’s House building has been a pub, a bar, an inn, or a restaurant of some kind, since 1753. Now that’s a lot of history.

We got there in time for their lunch buffet, which was just as good as we remembered.
After lunch we drove by Oglethorpe Mall where we used to shop, just to see if it was still there. It was, and it looks great. It also looks like it has been completely rebuilt since we were there, so maybe that’s why it looks great.
After that we headed home. On the way I make a quick stop at a Cummins Diesel dealer that we passed to see if they had a replacemnt plastic coolant overflow tank for my coach. While I was working on my non-starting problem yesterday, I discovered that my coolant overflow tank had a crack in it. No big problem, but I want to get it fixed.
As Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say “It’s always something!”
Tomorrow we’re going to drive over to Beaufort, SC where we lived from November 1969 to September 1970 when I worked for the Department of Defense as a contractor at the Marine Corp Air Station.
Old Home Week.
