well maybe that wasn't a great idea
did you hear that rustling
well maybe that wasn't a great idea to get so close job
...thunder rumbling...
...music playing...
so I'm doing for research in I think one of the places we want to go visit today
is this wormsloe I don't know if it's worms low or
worms worms low worm slow I don't know how you say it
so it's interesting with me in just reading about the history of the founder
of this place is that even though he was a carpenter from England he performed a
bunch of different roles in the colony when he got here in the sense of he was
a constable a physician a surveyor an Indian agent a soldier a member of the
Royal Council treasurer who's senior justice of the province
just you know seems like one of those guys that just saw a need and decided he
would jump in and meet whatever need that there was to just get the job done
so definitely really interesting reading about noble Jones Wormsloe the founder
of this plantation so let's go check out the visitor center and see what we've
gotten there you know what's nice is even though it's like kind of humid and
it's definitely warm it doesn't feel hot because there's so much shade from the
trees but you don't feel like it does let it feel hot it doesn't feel
overwhelming like yeah yeah aside it's really nice because there's so much shade
from all of the trees and the Spanish moss that's on the trees really like
just chain I used to be outside this trees really cool it's like one tree
that's like five trees but it's one tree it's just so cool
Homer said something like that I have not nothing licking frogs frogs
wait does it mean he's been licking frogs
Yeah something like that
you what happens if you kiss a frog
I know
what
stop it
princess it's not real you're already a princess you take selfies no taking
pictures these walls were actually just like to protect okay then the actual
house house was like inside cuz it's like see here's the well here's the
chimney so this was more like that like almost like a courtyard and then you
have your house house so obviously shells in and
of themselves are pretty like strong and durable and everything like that against
decomposition and stuff like that because they're still there right like
the whatever the mud between them is deteriorating I think a whole crab
village my goodness gracious look at them all and they're digging
...Music playing...
the view is beautiful isn't it the green smells and colored cord grass the Shriya
birds the quiet but this is not a view that noble Jones would recognize during the
seventeen hundred's European countries in their colonies fought for control of
North America so listening to that and reading some of these signs that type of
building what the shells was called Tabby so that's why all of these signs say it
was a tabby house or the tabby ruins so that's interesting
so that behind back there was saying that shell midden was like big piles of
shells from the Native Americans would use things like oysters and clams
obviously as a food source but then what they would do is they would take all the
shells and they put him in big huge piles on the coast and then that was
actually like a marker for other people to know there's a village there because
they take all those leftover shells so the shell puzzles were Jones grabbed a
bunch of those shells to make his tabby house its effect water levels and so
that the tides also helped to flush out like the ecosystem it is a salt marsh so
this would be a salt marsh so it would be saltwater did you hear that
I'm wondering if it's like well I wonder if it's like bubbles like you know like
bubbles popping in the mud so the heat maybe this is one of the houses in the
colony left upstairs oh look it tells you right here Waddle and Daub
construction was used by the Georgia construct their homes to Waddle
means to weave sticks Daub can be many things
colonial Georgia daub was not burnt and crushed oyster shells sand and water it
creates hold on but says it a lot of the colonists to save money because the
structure requires very few nails so really because when you look at fits
sticks and then wattle and daub which they said or waddle means weave but Dobb
was basically like the filling you could build that with most things that you'd
find right here in the woods without having to purchase materials so that you
would be able to put up to build a structure with mostly what you brought
and there's no nails or anything yet so there's no nails
I'm gonna come up there and check it out - yeah all right
very cool so get that ladder I hope it's gonna support me and then you would have
slept on it I think yeah so your whole family would have slept on it
so here's where they would play colonial cricket right in here it is George's
first athletic sport
so that was pretty fun and definitely a low-cost activity it was super
reasonable for admission the kids I want to say we're like four dollars and fifty
cents a piece this is a state historical area so it is a fee area but it was
definitely a fun afternoon lots of history nice getting out and walking in
nature just kind of light hiking so definitely a place that we would
recommend if you were ever in the Savannah Georgia area we've made it to
what's this place called Georgia Peach world
peach salsa
coke okay what do you think everyone we're in Hawaii and we had the Dole Whip
in the Dole Plantation this reminds me of except fruits you know peachy you
look happy we got the mail today it's always kind
of like Christmas getting the mail and look we've got a bunch of stickers so
something really fun that we were able to get into this summer is sticker
trading with other RV families and other RV couples on Instagram so if you are on
Instagram and you go over and you search the hashtag RV sticker Club you'll be
able to find people that you can trade stickers with one of the fun things
about this is being able to just get old-fashioned snail mail so because
we've been on the road this summer our mail has been quite delayed as we've had
it sent for home every just week or week and a half
so it's always fun when I get the mail and I get to pick it up and in addition
to a bill or two there's just fun handwritten cards from other our viewers
across the u.s. that have sent to us their stickers and then of course we've
done the same with our Grateful glamper sticker as well
so you can right here we're going fishing so what you find you get dad
gonna get it fast what about a turtle oh yeah this is how
are we gonna get the hooks out of it valid point
yeah the mouth open and then you grab the head
what's the guy's name
Oh Jones that Oh John for that I know the jumping truth
so what do want to do today
feels like the beginning of something else
it's not the type of video we make
