Yesterday we arrived in Tybee Island which is near Savannah Georgia. Tybee Island is an small tourist town east of Savannah. There is a campground called Rivers End Campground is owned and operated by the City of Tybee. This campground is just like a typical commercial campground and a great place to stay. Rivers End Campground is the closest campground to downtown Savannah. Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day and Savannah boosts to have the second largest St Patrick's Day Parade. I remember Boston, Chicago, and Denver also claim to have large Saint Patrick's Day Parades.
One land mark on the island is the Tybee Island Light Station. Order by General Oglethorpe, Governor of the 13th colony in 1732, the Light Station has been guiding mariners safe into the Savannah River for over 270 years. This Light Station is one of America's most intact having all of its historic support building on its five acre site. The current Light Station displays its 1916 day mark with 178 steps and a First Order Fresnel lens which is nine feet tall. Tybee Island has a lot of great dinning and sea food restaurants, along with beaches on the Alantic Ocean, and Savannah River as it enters the Alanti c Ocean. 
very cool! I love light houses- don't know why but think they are very interesting.
