Something to look at

[Krawler00]

Board is kinda dead today so figured I would post a few picks from my vacation. If you ever get a chance to visit and camp at Skidaway Park I highly recommend it. Very beautiful place and very clean. You can get a full hookup site for $25 a night! Water, cable tv, power and a BIG lot without being on top of people. There is not a bad spot at this park. Bathrooms are very clean also. Anyway, here are a few picks from Skidaway, Tybee and Savannah. Love Savannah and those massive live oaks and historic homes!

Very nice.  We just got back from our vacation in Destin.  The stud factor is high on the left.

I love Savannah! I am a history nerd so it fits... Last time meg and I were there we stayed at the Hyatt on the River and walked all over that town... I am bound and determined to find the old pirate tunnel entrance that runs from the river to under the Pirate House (closed up under the Pirate house). I have looked at a lot of maps and I got a general idea where...

Speaking of the Pirate House, when I was there as a 10 year old, they let me go to the dungeon and take a souvenir.  I took an old sword handle.

very cool... We got to go down in the basement on a ghost tour and it was very cool but I want to get in that tunnel! But the house has been around since the founding a Savannah so no telling how old the tunnel is and probably has collapsed

I'm in for a spulunking expedition anyday. I would love to see down there. Chris was it a real sword handle or what? That is cool!

Looks like fun. Thanks for the pics.

well after some major research these past few months and getting a hold of some maps, satellite images (not much since it is a US Port so security) it seems a dead end. No one reports seeing the tunnel from the River and apparently at one point the city had to rebuild the side of the hill because it was "sinking" into the river.

From what I read there are several more tunnels. One under a black church that was used to free slaves that tied into the original pirate tunnel, several around the old hospitals to carry out the dead yellow fever victims (not sure I would want to be in those tunnels) and then rumor has it of a few under Forsyth park and the big cemetery has some as well. Ill keep up search.

ON a side note, anyone watch that show on the History channel (my favorite channel) with the guy who gets to go into underworld and see tunnels and such under cities. An episode I watched the other night he was in Belize in the old Myan (sp) ruins exploring in and under them…. how do I get his job?  ???

Unfortunitely I do not get cable anymore. We cut down to the $10 a month cable which means I have not gotten to watch the Discovery channel in almost 1 year and a 1/2! AAAAHHHHH! I have seen that show Jerm, cool!

This is off topic, but I have been considering dropping cable alltogether too.  The only problem on our end is that it would mean no TV whatsoever unless I went with a bare bones connection which I don't know if it would be worth it.  (I have an older plasma TV with no tuner built-in.)  Last night was the first night since last weekend that I watched TV.  It felt kind of nice, and I really didn't miss it.

Who is your carrier? You can drop down and still get some good channels. I get 30 or so. TLC, Spike, ABC family, Weather Channel, CNN and all the regulars. I am used to it as when I do happen to be around a tv with full hookups I spend more time flippin channels than watchin. It's good not to be addicted to it anyway. Spend time with the family more.
