A cold night, and a cold morning. After breakfast we decided we would head up to Savannah. We had a couple of things we planned to do that didn’t need heat or sun!
Our first stop was at the museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, a bomber group within the US Air Force. Unfortunately the museum was short on aircraft and long on the organisation of the Air Force, there was also a disproportional amount of displays referencing the Third Reich. Must admit to having a quick laugh at one of their descriptions of the British Submarine Spitfire (check the end of the blog if you don’t understand).
On the positive side, there was a B-17 there undergoing restoration.
There was also a baby Jeep there made out of canvas with a small 13HP engine. It was designed to be air transportable, which it was, but it didn’t have enough oomph on the ground.
We had planned to do some geocaching in the area of the museum, but with the temperature down at 2°C we abandoned the idea, with one exception. I’d read about a rather unique cache that I’d wanted to see. This cache was a mini hotel in a hotel parking lot.
After visiting the cache we headed down towards downtown Savannah to visit a couple of stores and have a late lunch.
The temperature remained at 2°C as we joined the Interstate back to Brunswick, we even saw a number of cars and trucks with some snow on them. We weren’t too far south of the “Historical Storm” The temperature slowly rose until it peaked at 12°C when we got back to the RV.
***British Submarine Spitfire should be British Supermarine Spitfire
