SAVANNAH, GA. We drove mostly in the rain Tuesday as we left Newland for Lexington, SC for a one-night stay.  The weather was still rainy as we drove here yesterday.  For the first time in our 5 1/2 -month-long trip we are experiencing heat AND humidity.  We had forgotten how oppressive humidity is.  We are parked under live oak trees with hanging Spanish moss in weather that seems like a bayou summer.  We experienced heat on our trip, but had forgotten what humidity of this level felt like.  Hope this passes soon if it is like this in St Augustine. 

Today the sun peeps out from the clouds now and then.  The temperature was 84 degrees at noon.  We may go out today to look around the town, or we may just do some last minute preparation for the end of the trip as we head home tomorrow.  Hard to believe that we actually will be back there.  Wherever we park the motorhome is home for us, except that finding a good church, grocery store, doctor, pharmacy, close friends, etc is difficult on the road.

I had quipped earlier in the trip that we might feel like Lewis and Clark heading back east after their long trip, and the farther east we travelled, the less remote things seemed.  But the farther east we went, the more crowded and congested the roads were and the ruder the truckers who hogged all lanes of traffic as they performed a snail's race with one another.  It will be good to get off the highways.

  1. Hope all is well when you get home. Guess that takes a bit to adjust being home. Thanks for the nice card. We are in winter with temp below freezing. Went to Missoula yesterday and on lost trail the temp was -6. Early winter for us. That 85 degrees sounded good to me. kathy
