Savannah Wedding Trip, Day 1
I set out my longest road trip yet, a ten-day tour that would take me to Savannah, GA and back. A close family friend was getting married in Savannah, so the plan was I would drive and Mona would fly to Savannah for the wedding.
I rented an Airbnb near Forsyth Park, booked air travel for Mona and packed the Family Truckster. The only rub in our plans was Tropical Storm Ian. The forecast maps showed Ian headed towards Savannah just in time for the nuptials.
My first stop was Hoosier National Forest -- a place of infinite gravel roads and single track. The only fee is a $5 trail pass. My destination was a prime dispersed camping spot I mapped during a previous trip to the Nebo Trail.

My turnaround was the Blackwell Horse Camp where I planned to fill up on water. Surprisingly the horse camp had no water. I wonder how the equestrians water their horses?
