Lots of rain while we were in Savannah! Wednesday we went to the City market and drove through lots of the beautiful historic districts of Savannah. During a torrential thunderstorm in the afternoon, we sought shelter for about 40 minutes at a restaurant in the Market. When we later arrived back at our camp-site, we were sorry to see that the “monsoon” (as one of our camp-site neighbors called it) had broken our long roll-up awning on the Airstream. The problem of the day became how we could “un-bend” the 28-foot 5-inch galvanized tube that contains the massive spring. This is how the awning rolls back up into its cover attached to the trailer. So, Thursday morning was spent working on that project, with a jury-rigged solution found after 5 or 6 hours of pushing, pulling and tugging. I’ll include a picture of the result that has stood up so far. (We’ve covered the 265 miles to Atlanta without losing it).
