Good Lord Almighty, the level of ignorance regarding locals, customs, and general information in this article is astounding!
First, let me quip, "Fools, even our vegitarians are meat-eaters... we're that backwards down here!"
Second, the writer's map may tell him Savannah is 60 miles away, but it's really closer to 90... I know when I leave home to go there to allow 2 solid hours of travel to reach their downtown area from mine.
Saint Simons is accessed by a single causeway, but Sea Island is even farther, and also isolated by another causeway off of SSI. It is not a simple trip if the police don't want you to make it. Many a criminal has been nabbed in roadblocks on either causeway.
And there's more- the heat, humidity, and malaise of summer here has to be experienced to be believed- it gets so dam' hot that walking from your house to your garage in the outside air will soak the lightest clothes with sweat- I mean dripping wet. I change out of a tank-top and light slacks at least twice a day, more if I do any work outside.
The local waterways, except for the Intercoastal Waterway, are shallow, serpentine, and usually dead-end. Even experienced boaters get lost and grounded routinely here.
