    A ranger once told me it's more dangerous in the days after a storm often than during the storm itself. You're right you do have to keep your eye up. Watch out for those widowmakers. When the ground is moist with or without the wind picking up after a storm there's often an unexpected fall. Be careful out there! Great to see you on the trail again! 😁

      This is very true. I keep looking up in my yard and noticing potential threats! 🌲🥺

    What a beautiful park and fittingly festive for October. 😊 Imagine a spooky Halloween night walk through here. 🎃 🕸 Happy you and yours faired ok through this storm. ✌️

      Thank you! The moss does make it spooky, and Savannah is notoriously haunted! 👻

    Awesome to see another video from you! Glad y'all are ok after the storm. It was a doozie, that's for sure. Nature never fails to leave me in awe.

    Glad you are doing fine, and that you left your last outing before the storm got there. / I had never heard about the bugs in the spagum moss. Thank you for taking us on a hike!

    Laura thank you so much for doing this video! We're still trying to decide if we're still coming the 13th. Worried about this other hurricane in the gulf now.

    • @peaks4pounds
      @peaks4pounds  3 місяці тому

      We've got our eye on it as well!

    Hey Laura, pine trees have a tap root that goes almost as deep as the tree is tall. Pines will usually snap before the roots come up. Good to see you and know that you made it safely thru the storm.

    • @peaks4pounds
      @peaks4pounds  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for clarifying! I do see a lot of pines snapped. That makes sense!

  • @suehancock5573

    Beautiful but dangerous in some spots! 😮. It is especially good to look up Yikes! 🙄 So glad to see you out and about! 💪 Take care and keeping going forward and looking upward. Another storm on its way Milton. Prayers going out for everyone in its path! 🙏❤️

    Good timing lol. I had to laugh at your 27 feet above sea level. That’s a mountain for us.😂 I do a 4 mile walk on the levee everyday. No shade but no rocks! Water oaks have shallow and live much deeper roots. Good to see your local trail. I thought you were saying fairy trail.😊❤

    Hi, Laura! Thanks for sharing this video. It was very interesting. Didn't realize that we have a couple of "widow makers" in our yard also. Hugs! 😊

    My wife and I were in Savannah back in May of 2011 Driving from Massachusetts; one of best unplanned adventures. BTW our elevation is 1100 feet.

    At 4:00-4:02, I thought that a was deer (to the far right) but now I'm thinking it's a sign?

    • @peaks4pounds

      Good eye! But yes, it's a sign.

    Are you not afraid of alligators in those marshes? As a northerner, I’m scared to death of southern bodies of water and marshes that can hold them.

    • @peaks4pounds
      @peaks4pounds  3 місяці тому +1

      I've seen more snakes than alligators down here. Definitely took some time to get use to this climate!

    Skidaway Island is a rich mans playground about the same with Richman Hill. The name says it all. Ain't no jail in Richman Hill.

    That’s why it’s so quiet, there are a lot of hidden dangers now. The wildlife was disrupted too. Thanks for the guided walk…I was concerned after your last video you were nearer to the storm…glad you are ok. ❤️🥾🥾🍁🍂🌲🪵
