One Savannah Day

March 5, 2026

We had decided to take a trolley tour of Savannah to get an overview of the city. We're glad we did. The beautiful squares looked to be a bit of a nightmare to navigate. Parking squeezed in tight spots, lots of people, and heavy vehicle traffic with a few construction and utility vehicles thrown in for good measure, spelled stress to us.

Our tour was in the afternoon so we spent a some time in the morning at the GA State Railroad Museum with a very enthusiastic, if not somewhat loud, guide. Savannah is a very pretty city and perhaps one day, we'll spend more time there.

Savannah National Wildlife Refuge

  March 4, 2026

We only had a couple of days in the Savannah area. We were using our Passport America discount, and the maximum stay was three nights at Savannah Lakes RV Resort. Unfortunately, we had acquired a chip in our windshield. Not wanting that chip to worsen into something that required an entire windshield replacement, part of our first full day was set aside for windshield repair.

We opted to visit the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge for other part of the day. They have a four-mile loop road through the refuge as well as a visitor center. Not in any real hurry, we spent around two hours making that loop. The refuge had its beginnings as rice paddies. The gates used to flood the rice fields were ideal for controlling the water levels in the now refuge. 

It's a birding favorite for sure. At times it was a little tricky as vehicles stopped to view wildlife on the one-way, one lane wide path. We were on the look out for alligators. We were not disappointed. With all the birdsong, it was a relaxing way to spend some time.
