Thanks for the ping.

Charleston AFB is one of those bases I might enter through the old road. Strong presence of rifles and side arms, be invited. It has a great history and tracks leading to Savannah.

I hope your Labor Day went well, I went to a wedding at a place called the Bleak House in Knoxville, TN. My Nephew and his new Bride.

Big History as well. :)
