TYBEE ISLAND

THE NEXT DAY DARRELL WANTED TO GO TO TYBEE ISLAND AND CLIMB THE LIGHTHOUSE. THE DRIVE TO TYBEE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WITH THESE LOVELY OAK TREES  PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED SHADE WITH  SPANISH  MOSS HANGING IN THEM, LIKE ALL THE PICTURES I HAD SEEN OF SAVANNAH.

THE LIGHTHOUSE IS 174 STEPS AND 154 FEET TALL

.

WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR TICKETS THE LADY TOLD US WE SHOULD GO UP RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING CLOUDY AND IF IT STARTED LIGHTNING THEY WOULD CLOSE THE LIGHTHOUSE. SO, WE STARTED UP ......EVERY 25 STEPS THERE IS A LANDING AND YOU COULD REST, WHICH WE DID. 

WITH ALL THE RESTIN' IN BETWEEN STEPS, IT DIDN'T SEEM THAT STRENUOUS.

WE MADE IT!!  THE VIEWS WERE WELL WORTH THE CLIMB!

TYBEE ISLAND BEACH IS CALLED "SAVANNAH'S BEACH".

IT WAS A LONG WAYS TO THE GROUND!

WE FOUND SOME FOLKS TO TAKE OUR PICTURE TO DARRELL'S DELIGHT!

AND THERE WAS DUALLY......WAY DOWN THERE!

WE DECIDED TO HEAD DOWN.....

BUT, FIRST WE  HAD TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIGHT THAT LIGHTS THE LIGHTHOUSE.......IT IS STILL AN OPERATING LIGHTHOUSE.

WE DROVE DOWN TO TYBEE TO HAVE LUNCH, BUT THAT IS  A CRAZY, BUSY  BEACH TOWN. THERE WAS  NO PARKING FOR OUR  DUALLY.
WE TOOK IN A COUPLE OF FLEA MARKETS OVER THE WEEKEND, BUT MOSTLY WE RESTED UP FOR A BUSY WEEK, WE WANTED TO SEE MORE OF SAVANNAH!
