We toke an overnighter to Savanna and took a trolley tour of the city. The tour person pointing out points of interest mentioned that Spanish Moss is full of chiggers and that during the Civil War, the Yankee soldiers thought it would make a good bedding material until they tried it. By the way, it was a trip worth taking that isn't that far away. Beautiful riverfront and lots of history.
