Today was mostly solo+4 for the trip north to Charlotte. Laura is in the air (no, in a plane dummy) as I write this. This morning I visited Fort Pulaski National Monument outside Savannah. My original idea was to circumvent the city rather than maneuver RV through the somewhat narrow streets but I totally forgot that until I was headed straight into town. Not a big deal, there was no vehicular drama and Savannah is a very pretty old southern town (if you’re into oak-lined streets, Spanish moss, and quaint well landscaped parks that is).
Fort Pulaski is a well preserved brick fortification who’s main claim to fame is that the Union Army used it to test rifled cannons in combat. A test that was so successful it ended the utility of bricks and mortar for fort construction.
The best thing about Fort Pulaski is that it’s extremely pet friendly. In fact it’s the most dog friendly National anything that we’ve ever visited. The dogs enjoyed touring both inside and outside the fort and on part of the extensive trail system. Here they are checking out one of the powder magazines in the demilune (earthworks) and the moat that surrounds the entire fort:
