We drove up highway US-341 to Perry, GA. We noticed as we went along that there were people setting up tents and displays along the highway as a several hundred mile long flea market. We found out later that it is call “Peaches to Beaches” and they do it once a year. Since we were dragging the wanderer behind us, we did not stop at any of the markets, but we were tempted. We are staying at the Crossroads Travel Park ($41 per night with GSC). We took this detour from the coast because we found out that there is a major St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Savannah each year. I would not have though there was that many Irish in Georgia, but Savannah has the second largest, behind NYC, St. Patrick’s day parade and celebration. So we wanted to delay our arrival in Savannah until after St. Patrick’s day. With the Corona Virus (COVID-19) panic spreading, they canceled the Savannah St. Patrick’s day parade and celebration. We were happy to see the small towns along US-341 that the church parking lots were fairly full, so the panic in the major cities has not spread to the countryside.
