Default Savannah, GA?

I'm going to be in Savannah, GA for two weeks, arriving on Sunday Feb. 24th. I expect to be working long hours during the week, but I may have a free day on the weekend of March 1-2. If I have any free time, I would be interested in meeting up with any local RVers.

Have you been to Sav'h before?

If not (and if you like to walk and have a passing interest in history) go to the visitor's center and buy the small pamphlets for the 2 self guided walking tours.

Downtown Sav'h is a real gem and great town to walk around in.

Default 35 minutes south

Kevin: Come visit us at Eagle Neck Airpark about 35-40 minutes south of Savannah. We are easy to find and there are two flying 8's, a 9A, and a 9A under construction. Glad to show you around.

Default Be careful....

.....where you walk alone, though. Stay in well-lighted areas with other people around. Ask me how I know.

Send a PM upon your arrival since we're only 20 RV minutes from Savannah.

Regards,

How long ago was this? In the 80's I can see where you might want to be careful. In recent years tourism has been a big money maker. Everyone in Savannah tries to make your stay a pleasant one. I've walked through the restored "projects" with my wife after midnight and did not fear an attack.

I'd say as long as you are in the historic district you are safe any time of day or night. But maybe I'm just a city boy.

I'll have a better handle on my schedule after we arrive and get a couple of days work under our belt. Once I have an idea of when I might have free time, I'll contact build9A, Pierre and Todd.

I'm not sure yet which hotel we'll be in, as it was arranged by our project manager, and he is incommunicado. But supposedly it is in the downtown area, whatever that means.
