Marked didn’t capture the historical residential streets at night. Most homeowners have accent lighting on their homes and their landscaping which really is Jaw dropping amazing!
We don't doubt that Raymond. Our current lenses, however, have limited functionality in low light. We'd rather avoid the low light shots altogether than present some grainy, sub-par video.
Hi Mr Guido. Once again, we really enjoyed your video on Savannah, Georgia. We really appreciate the use of drones. This allows us to have an overview. It makes much more complete and interesting videos Thanks again..
Thank you Denis! Drones often provide a perspective when you can't tell the story any other way. We love having ours for those situations, when we're able to use it. Sometimes landowner restrictions or even wind conditions keep us from doing so. For example, as I type this we're in a Florida State Park where drone use is prohibited. We planned to get around that by launching and landing from our kayak on the water adjacent to the park; however, this morning's wind conditions are preventing that, too.
I always found it humbling to walk around Civil War battlefields. You really feel like you are walking through history. Both campgrounds looked great. We would have gone for the McAllister campground, but then, we aren’t worried about satellite signal either. The seafood festival looked fun. I can imagine the great food. Thanks for sharing. Ram 👍🏼👍🏽
Great video , wife and i was in the area at a Harvest host in Ridgland . We missed a few atractions that we now know of thanks to you , and i jave been in the area several times in my life . Safe travels
I have driven through Georgia, I admit I didn't really stop to investigate any areas. Lots of history, some not so good.... That seafood festival looked fantastic.... Different topic, snowing in Idaho.
Yep, my beloved Alta has already received 106" to date, and the season doesn't even open for another couple of weeks! Keep it coming. History may not always be pretty, but it's always fascinating and provides many lessons for the present.
Georgia is a state I have not camped in yet although I have visited. The state park campground is on my list. I do stay at KOAs when traveling and I would stay at this KOA is the state park is full. Very nice job on the video.
That campground at the McAllister State Park looked really nice, something id like to check out as i dont do the internet thing on the road...Looks like a descent KOA too...Am a rewards member but id rather do the state parks because they are usually alot nicer....Appreciate you always showing these camping areas....Savannah and all those forts looks like a great thing to put on the travel bucket list for sure...Gotta love festivals wherever they are....Thanks, travel safe, glad you werent gator bait and be well !!
Yep, if we had our druthers we would've preferred to be in the state park campground, although it was a very nice stay at the KOA. If you don't need to be concerned about tree canopy as we do, it's a no-brainer in our opinion.
Thanks Marc. That was a completely different dynamic than the Fort Sumter surrender, you reported on last week. They were simply outgunned this week. Brick fortifications just don't make it. They needed heavy iron plating backed by iron reinforced concrete... together with long range mortars to take out the attacking ships. They didn't have either and were not prepared. Cannons on embattlements are line of sight and can be taken out with enough fire power. However, mortars can be hidden and protected. Standard mortar ball is pretty hard to hit a moving ship. But if they fired molten lead and iron debris they can cause the wooden ships to burn with just a few pieces hitting the targets... especially if they had sails. This is actually a very old technique that the Romans used on their galleys at close range. But perfecting the technique at longer range might have saved some of the ports. You must be a Civil war buff, as you have hit a few Civil War naval historic sites along the east coast. Downtown Savannah is really beautiful to take in. There is really allot of period architecture to see. And I loved seeing the lower level historic warf area of Savannah. You had allot to cover and I would have enjoyed seeing more of the things that were only briefly viewed. I felt that this was more of a taster than a review. We got lots of cannons though and that helped😉!🤣💨 Gord
Another fascinating insight, Gord -- thank you for that. I've truly never been a Civil War buff in the strictest sense of the word. However, you know that I love history in all its forms. These sites just happen to coincide with our chosen destinations this year down the eastern seaboard. As for the depth of content, we face challenges at this time of year when the days get shorter. We only have one full day per week to explore: Saturdays. Otherwise, we do all of our filming and exploration after business hours as I'm working from the RV Monday-Friday. When the days get shorter, that minimizes our midweek opportunities -- especially after the clock shift to Standard Time.
Hard to balance being in a packed campground and being near a popular city. Shame the State Park couldn't work for you. You make us want to give Georgia another visit!! Thanks as always, the 2 Tasmanians in Murfreesboro Tennessee heading home to Australia next week for summer.
Have a safe trip back Leigh! It is indeed a tricky balance sometimes. Right now we're in a gorgeous state park with pristine undeveloped beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, whereas the remainder of the shoreline here is full of high-rise condos. It's like two different worlds. We specifically included the campground at Fort McAllister in the video precisely for those folks not bound by the same restrictions we face, for it's positively gorgeous.
Thanks for this video Mark. I was stationed at nearby Fort Stewart in the mid 80s. This brings back some memories. I hope to travel back with my RV there next year. You should check out Jekyll Island. It’s an amazing island and history.
Yeah really nice campground towards the northern part of the island! Yeah it’s also the home of the originals Globalist agenda as it’s called today! Aka WEF
We ran out of time on this visit to get to Jeckyll Island on this stop, Bob, but we have it earmarked for a future visit. Thanks for watching, and thanks for your service!
We have been to Savanah once but like to go again. So much to see and learn. Thanks. As always, we appreciate the historical facts you share with us. Good job!
Once again Mark you hit it out of the ballpark with you wonderful narrative of Savannah. We have visited Savannah many times, and were mesmerized by it beauty, and it's fascinating history. Looking forward to your ventures into another beautiful destination...St Augustine, one of our favorites also. Safe journey Mark!
Have you walked the historic residential streets at sundown, if you catch it just right, the homeowners a lot of them have accent lighting on many of the homes and oak trees. That makes it really spectacular!
Well sonofagun, they sure did! Thanks Bert! I'll have to change my usual outro -- which means it'll now require 10 takes to get it right instead of 5. 😄
Woooow, soooo coool you!!!! Here is Alisa from Keecowsocks ( We producing sport socks for skiing/hiking/running/working). Want to support you some good socks for your fantastic journey!!!!
Being a girl from the burbs of South Florida, this is all new to me. Great job. Poor little fella - getting picked on. I bet you have a lot of poo 💩 You definitely need a bigger blender Does it smell once it’s powder? Sounds like a great way to deal with all that 💩
Savannah.................my #1 place to visit my 2nd year RVing.
It's definitely worthy of a week, Joe.
Seafood festivals OH yum!!!!
They seem to be an autumn tradition across the SE US coast.
Lived in the Carolinas for years but never made it down to Savannah. It's on our list now. Thanks for the video. Safe travels.
Thank you BTBT, and same to you!
Missed the premier showing, but loved watching a replay. Thanks Marc.
Glad you enjoyed it Gerald, thank you! We'll catch you at a Premiere in an upcoming week.
Another grand adventure. Fun fact: One of the earliest known photographs of a baseball game was taken inside Fort Pulaski during the civil war
Very cool, did not know that! Thanks so much for sharing that tidbit.

@@raymonddriggers no worries at all! Just thought that I'd take the opportunity to explain.
LOVE Savannah! Thanks for the tour!
Our pleasure Colleen, thanks for coming along!
I love Savannah ,Georgia it is beautiful city .Thank- you for the information on the city, I greatly appreciate it.
And we appreciate that you watched, Sherrie. Thank you!

Savannah is such a beautiful city. It was very easy to get very lost in before cell phones too. Scott said he'd never go back. 😂
Try Boston. 😄 Their streets were built to follow whatever paths the cows wandered, and cows aren't well known for their navigation skills.
It would be cool to visit those Forts
They're fascinating places to stroll through, Denny.
Savannah and the surrounding area is a fabulous place to visit, I need to go back again.
Time to make those plans! Thanks so much for watching.
Fabulous video Marc, thanks. We appreciate your hours of hard work. Safe travels!
Thank you as always Joyce! We appreciate you, and all of our viewers.
Loved the tour of Savannah and the tips on places to camp - keep up the good work.
Thank you Winston! Glad that you enjoyed it.
Great channel with even better content.
Appreciate that Matt, thank you!
Great video. We're going to Savannah on our Spring Break in 2023. :) It's a beautiful city.~Kelli and Wilson

Thanks as always to both of you! Glad that you enjoyed this one.
Hi there! We photobombed your video unintentionally 😂. We were in the site at 10:37. Loved this park. Travel safe!
Oh now that's too funny! Sounds like you enjoyed your visit as much as we did, and thanks so much for watching. Hope to see you down the road.
@@GrandAdventure it was great! Travel safe!
@@TilFurtherNotice you do the same.
Great overview of Savannah and it's history. I was there exploring Savannah just a few days ago. Looks like I missed a lot. Great video. 👍
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed your visit as well, and safe travels.
@@GrandAdventure I did enjoy my time in Savannah. I uploaded my video too if you're interested check it out. Thanks 🙂
@@FollowThomas we certainly will, thanks for the pointer.
Your quality videos make everything look so inviting .. Thankfully we are able to ride along with you.. Thanks GA

Thanks Sue!
And yet another top-notch production, marc! A very interesting and very fun share thank you so much! >Merton ✌😎👌
Thanks as always Merton!
I’m going to look into the State park camping you highlighted . looks nice there thx
It's a wonderful option, Carol, for those who don't face the same restrictions that we do. That's exactly why we included it in this video.
Great video , wife and i was in the area at a Harvest host in Ridgland . We missed a few atractions that we now know of thanks to you , and i jave been in the area several times in my life . Safe travels
Thank you Todd, and wishing you and your wife the same.
Love your content!! We were in savanna last year… stayed on Tybee!
Thanks Al! That would be a beautiful place to stay.
@@GrandAdventure we always search your videos when we head out to see your highlights of the location…. Appreciate all u do!

We stayed at Skidaway sp and loved it! Great video and making us yearning to get back down to Savannah soon!
Awesome! Thank you Jennifer!
Marc, we were there in March for spring break. It was fun.
It's definitely a fun place to visit. Glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself, and thanks for watching!

@@gorrdd it ain't always easy to do.
Naval forces were a big advantage of the North over the Confederacy and a key to blockading the Confederacy.

Wow I was really impressed with the construction of the Old Forts! As well, the trees in the south are so majestic!
Two of these forts are located in prime historical residential neighborhoods, and the drive to them is spectacular as well as the forts
We love the Spanish moss on those oak trees, Suzane. It really distinguishes this part of the country from elsewhere.
Yeah... Savannah is a neat place to visit. Looking forward to tonight's episode, Marc.
