Okay so this is the moment of truth here where we actually
like really open up to everybody and lay it all on the
line. And tell them who you're related to? I guess if we if we
have to if we have to go down this road.
Good morning from Fort McAllister State Park. Just
outside of Savannah, Georgia here. Do you guys want a cup of
coffee by the way? I can go throw one on real quick. Ney's
still in bed. I know that's what you're thinking. She's
slowly getting out. I assure you she's awake but Dexter's in
there laying with her right now and when those two get
together, it's kind of like it delays the process a little bit
and there's no telling when they'll actually make it out of
the bed. I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret.
These state parks are where it's at. As the kids like to
say, it's money here. I don't know if that's what they really
say but I'm going to go with it. Best part about these state
parks is the sites are so big. They're so spaced out and
they're very well maintained. It's very clean. We noticed
over the years of being at RV parks, it's nice to have all
the amenities but what's really cool is when you land spots
like this because we still have all those amenities. Yes, we do
not have to rely on a dump station. We have full hookups
at our site right now. So, that's pretty cool. And much
needed because we still have the crack in our gray tank.
We're going to walk you through our whole process of getting
that bad boy fixed. It's been months we have this gray tank
cracked and we've been keeping our gray tank completely open
the entire time. That way when we have showers and brushing
our teeth, it just runs all out of the sewer. So, we've kind of
been having to be flexible and landing spots that guarantee us
a full hookup site and if we don't, if we're dry camping for
maybe one night, we just are very judicious. We our water
usage and we make sure we don't fill up the entire tank because
if you guys remember it all from that previous episode the
crack is actually at the top of the tank so we can use a little
bit of that tank capacity with no worries but we have to be
concerned if it gets too full because then it might you know
compromise that seal I had placed earlier and you all know
how that went the first time
Feel like today is going to be a good day and I am so glad you
guys are here. I love you guys. I have the trash so please
please do not let me forget it. Should we sing the trash song
while we're on our way?
Everybody should have a trash song. Something that is so
easily forgotten. How many times have we left it on the
back tailgate and then hit the road and we're like
mama's trying
You threw me off my beat. What's going on here?
What's up? My watch went off.
Sir, please don't block the container. No, it's fine. Thank
you. Bucket list items are getting checked off today. Am I
allowed to say that at my age? I have heard so many great
things about Savannah, Georgia. And to put the icing on the
cake, we get to do it with you guys. You know what's
interesting is we have to figure out how we're going to
park this big truck in downtown Savannah. Yeah, I know. That's
why I'm not a city person, honey. You know, me with a lift
truck. I just, I stick out like a sore thumb in the cities. My
question is all the people that dry doolies out there, what do
they do? Cuz they have a big fat you know it's like well we
used to like cities when we were younger, like the things
when you were younger, you were like boring. Why is that on fire?
Help me. So I did my research and here's the things I wrote
down that we could check out. Forsyth Park, Chippewa Square
which somebody from your family sat there in a bench said
something about a box of chocolates. River Street along
Savannah I'm hoping we could just park along River Street
and then that'll be where we end up and then there's a lot
of bar and restaurants on Bay Street and we are headed
towards Pigeon Forge, the Smokey Mountains. We're so excited.
Maybe we'll do some really good hiking there.
It will be here before you know when. Oh, we're hitting the
traffic already. What is all this traffic from? This is us
trying to get to the UPS store traffic. Gotta run those
errands. Who needs to see Savannah anyways? It's fine.
We'll get there tomorrow. Tomorrow. Awesome. I hope we
make it there today because I would like to see it before we
leave. Surprisingly, there's no traffic now. It was just near
ninety-five which is already given me like scared vibes for
tomorrow when we hit the drive ninety-five. We are, oh shoot.
We're supposed to go that way. Is it's going to rain today.
It's going to pour and I'm thinking this is going to make
the city less crowded. So, it might be a blessing in
disguise. We're going to have to get off the next exit and
then. We're lost. Get back around. You know, it'd be a
blessing in disguise if I could get some good directions. Now,
you're going to have to make a left and then another left to
get back on the interstate. Oh, it's a backtrack. Yeah. Because
of why that is. Let er rip. Can't fit there. The truck
might be a little too tall. So, this is the ideal location to
find parking. Everyone it's raining. Time to go home.
Anywhere like here. I think this is always the most
stressful part of anytime we go anywhere. Yeah. Finding parking
is the that's a # relatable stress. We made it. This is
amazing. You want to go out sometime? I'll be here all
week. It's so crazy because like traffic is right there and
I'm like look at this. Look at that handy dandy parking spot.
Carl you done good. Hi we gotta pay parking. Oh yeah that Be
important. I'm going to let you take care of that since I got
this done. Bye for now. Until 8 PM tonight which I don't think
we'll be here that long. $5.71 total. You shut the front door.
That's pretty good. Oh I'm alright. I'll meet you there.
No we're going this way. This way. This way. This way. No I
have I have our friends here. We're going this way. No. We're
going this way. No. Come with me guys. So we got here. We got
parked. See what I have to deal with. It's always always about
her. Excuse me. I think the plan is to go. Hello. To a
brewery now. Wait for the storm to and then we can just start
walking and we'll burn off all those beer calories. Hello.
He's finally here. Wow. I know it's this way. So far,
Savannah's not that bad. Uh we've been in a lot worse
cities where it's more hustle bustle and It's kind of like
integrated. It doesn't feel like a city because it feels
like you're in a jungle. Like a jitty. Get it? Jungle city. I
don't like that. Okay. I don't do that again. How about a
jungle? Who did I marry again? The mother of Trailer Park
Hanks. Oh my gosh guys. All my life is complete. I Mine's not.
So, the rain just came and gone already. What? It's gone. I
thought it was going to be a torrential downpour which is
why we booked it to this brewery. If you guys are
planning like day trips in the south and the weather says it's
going to rain. Don't let the weather decide whether you're
going to have a good day or not. Just go for it.
Something's kind of telling me I shouldn't have wore pants
today by the way. Why did you? Cuz it was going to rain and
I'm used to with rainy days of being cold. No, it's muggy.
It's the south. Yeah, it's hot, um but I can get used to it as
long as I have like AC to refer back to. That's important.
People watching. People watching. That's always fun to
do. What are you feeling for dinner tonight? Something with
a nice view. Oh, honey. As long as I'm in the company of you, I
have the most beautiful view of all so. I know, nice one.
Oh my gosh, there are just so many squares in the city. I was
just about to say, guess what's coming up? Another square.
Yeah. Don't be so square. Did you know it's to be square?
That's enough, Ebby. Huey Lewis in the news. You're cut off
already. Stop. I only have one beer. Too many. That is epic
looking and I love this. These trees and the moss, it just
does it for me. So cool. Oh my gosh. I forgot. I need to call
Dexter and make sure that he does his chores. I'll be right
back.
We have a cellphone for that.
This lady is absolutely crazy. I cannot believe I call her my
wife. Oh my gosh and I thought Carl was crazy. See what you
guys got yourselves into? It's like a fire or disaster you
can't look away from, isn't it? You want to tell me what that
was about? The door doesn't open. Someone told me. I'm
like, how am I supposed to call Dexter? What are you looking
up? I'm posting a story of you filming in the wild. I'm
looking for a gif that says I said that. Yeah. Yeah, I think
that's how you spell that? Crikey. Is that what I said.
Does this situation give all you full-time RVers like PTSD
looking at this? It's like when you're at the RV park and the
dumpster's full and you don't know what to do with your trash
and you have full trash. Yeah, we're at a beautiful park but
I'm pointing out the trash that's here. So, that's how
that day is going. We made it. We walked a treacherous one
mile to come get you. But hey, we're here so you know what we
need to do? What? Let's take a selfie. Ready?
Alright let's go home. Life is like a box of chocolates. You
never never know what you're going to get. Uh are you from
around here? Uh alright. Nope. Nobody's sitting here with me.
Great. Great. Okay so we're in front of the Chippewa Square
right now. If you guys don't know what that is that's
popular place for the beginning of a really popular film called
Forest Gump. Oh yeah. If you never seen that movie well then
oh my goodness. Where event. Basically, the moral of the
story is I am related Tom Hanks and yeah, you may think I'm
joking but this is all serious. This is legit. I have
handwritten letters from the Hanks. Yeah, I have to throw a
picture up to prove it and if you're seeing the picture right
now, I'm that little fatty right there he's holding back
in 1991 so. Can you see it in his face maybe a little? Or my
personality? I don't know. The relation is my grandpa and Tom
Hanks' father were cousins. So, I guess that makes my dad's
second cousins of Tom Hanks. Pretty cool story is my dad
actually met him a couple times back in our hometown. Yeah. Cuz
that's where his mom's from. Anyone knows how to get in
contact with Tom, send him my way so I could say hi because
it's been a while. It's been a minute since ninety-one. It's
been a, it's been a second since time flies. You never
know what you're going to get.
