Last day in Savannah, Prohibition Museum

This morning we were starting to pack for a road day, then we got into the weather details.  Snow forecast for the area we wanted to go.  After some consideration we decided to stay here.  Yeah, it probably would have been fine and we could have chosen a route south of the storm.  But we do not have a schedule, we're here to have fun.  So we did not need to push it.  We'll move on tomorrow, have a campground picked out in Bainbridge GA.

Spent the morning at the Prohibition Museum in downtown Savannah.  Pretty cool place.  Full of the Temperance Movement history, photos and memorabilia of the period.  A few dioramas and character actors to describe the events, attitudes and politics of the day.  Then the same for the period immediately after repeal in 1933.  Plenty of moonshiners, mobsters & bootleggers.

Then a trip to Camping World, bought some LEDs and toured some fifth wheel toy haulers.  Nothing tempting.
