Day 27

Breakfast with Tom, then he guided us through a very beautiful trip across the barrier island to the mainland.  Road lined with live oaks and palms.  Very peaceful and serene.  We stopped to look at a 2,000 year old live oak which as you might guess is huge.  The branches grow out and eventually touch the ground to give the tree additional support.  In 2,000 years, this tree has endured more than a few hurricanes and it's still standing.

We retraced our steps from two days before and crossed the border of Florida into Georgia.  We've been in Florida for a week and greatly enjoyed our stay.  Thanks again to Denise, David, Lynne and Tom for their gracious hospitality and assistance to two weary travelers.

We headed up the coast of Georgia and when it came time to find a camp, once again realized that it was Friday and Spring Break to boot.  Persistence paid off though, and we scored a spot at a private campground on Tybee Island outside of Savannah.  It's a neat little community with some funky bars and restaurants.  The food wasn't spectacular, but we both managed to find something not fried for dinner.
