After Fort Pulaski, we drove on to Tybee Island, which we wanted to see because 1) in-laws Joey and Jodi have wintered there in recent years and commend it, 2) we were in need of a campground and its facilities, 3) which included severe weather shelter, since 4) violent storms were approaching. Also 5) because it was there. We mostly just drove around, stopping at the Crab Shack and then the campground, and then, between squalls, we walked over to the beach.

| Background information |
 |
| Old-timey gas station en route |
 |
| Crab Shack |
 |
| With its attendant gator pen |
 |
| Not on the menu, so far as I could tell |
 |
| Innovative (to me) table for peeling and eating crustaceans |
 |
Crab Shack environs; it was pretty crowded, so I did a take-away
shrimp and crab combo plate |
 |
| Tybee Island lighthouse |
 |
| Apparently severe weather is not uncommon here |
 |
Historical signage at the fort/museum; one wonders if this kind
of information will soon be suppressed in states like Florida
and Texas |
 |
| In time, everything becomes either a museum or a restaurant |
 |
Despite the wind and wet, we ventured out toward the beach...
but only this far |
 |
Next day parting shot...more of the environs and especially the
very long docks prevalent in the area |

Interesting table with the hole and garbage bag in the center. We could have used that at FSU when we went crabbing or had shrimp parties...probably after you left.
