Coronavirus Camping Trip

This is day 5 of a 6 day escape from the pandemic lockdown that has been in effect for a couple of weeks. How did we rationalize violating the stay at home order? Well, we took our home with us. The only place we could go was Georgia, because the Republican governor has refused to shut down the parks. We have been social distancing in the extreme. No restaurants, no grocery stores, no conversations with anyone. Hiking, biking and kayaking are the only things we do away from our campsite. Our first 3 days were spent at Elijah Clark SP on the western shore of Strom Thurmond reservoir. Elijah Clark was a revolutionary war commander. From there we moved to Fort McAllister SP. It's not too far from Savannah. The fort is a Confederate, Civil War era, compound, that was meant to stop those damn Yankees from using the Ogeechee river to ship supplies to their troops. That didn't work out too well. We head home tomorrow.
