Hunter Army Airfield - Lott's Island - Savannah, GA

April 5th - Saturday - 89 degrees -

We left King's Bay this morning at 10:30 am.  It was a beautiful day yesterday, we hurried and got the laundry caught up, which took us until 3:00.  I fixed us a barbecued pork sandwich and a strawberry daiquiri and we went outside in our sand chairs and enjoyed our books and the sunshine and the view of the lake and the birds.

Wood storks

These Wood Storks stayed all afternoon while we enjoyed watching them.  There was also an alligator that came up a little later in the late afternoon, but I didn't get a picture of him.  After we had enough of the sunshine, we visited with the folks next door that were from New Jersey then we went for a walk.

The Lake

Isn't it a beautiful lake?  When we were here in February, we didn't walk all around the lake.  This time we walked around the side of the lake that we didn't before.  It truly is a beautiful area and we did hate to leave to move on this morning.  Next year we will book this spot for a longer length of time.

Our site for tonight and for four days

This is our site here at Lott's Island at Hunter Army Airfield.  We were delighted to get a site, as when we stopped here on our way south, there was nothing available and we dry camped one night and like I told Lou, God was looking our for us then also, as if we had stayed we would have been caught in the ice and snow.  As it was we left and escaped the storm.

We are going to a Museum here that is in memory to the B-17 Bombers and the 8th Air Force.  I have been reading the series written by Sarah Sundin of Wings of Glory that pays great tribute to the great bombers and the pilots and crews that flew them.  I have read six of the books and have loved everyone of them, so really want to see the museum again.

Our neighbor, is a sweet gal that works on the base, greeted us as soon as we pulled in and gave us a map and told us some need to know facts; has her car parked at the rear of her 5th wheel and I noted cardinals attacking her mirror.

I remember my mother telling us that she used to have a pair of Cardinals that kept pecking at her kitchen window.

Female Cardinal

We are looking forward to our time here, we are supposed to have thundershowers this evening and tomorrow and to be truthful, our RV and our car need to have the pollen washed off of them.
