We have been without internet for the last week. We spent several days in the Savannah area. The first stop after checking into Skidaway Island SP was Wormsloe Plantation. Both are on a barrier island just south of Savannah so Live Oaks, Loblolly Pine, Spanish Moss, and Saw Palmetto are predominate. The main inhibitants are sandy fleas which just happen to be smaller than the holes in The Moose's screens. It is still a nice place to visit and the nights are the darkest we have seen since leaving home three months ago. Wormsloe was built by Noble Jones in the early 1700s. He came over on the first ship and was right hand man, carpenter, militia leader, and surveyor for Lord Oglethorpe, founder of Savannah.
The lane to the plantation is 1-1/2 mile long and lined with 100 year old oak trees.
All that remains of the house is the tabby wall of the small fort constructed to provide protection against native populations and the Spanish.
