My family was stationed at Fort Stewart in Hinesville, and Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah several times. Good post and good description of the area as I recall it.
One other thing I remember...all the complaints about the notorious speed traps set for Florida tourists coming and going through that little corner of Georgia. I guess they were a good idea after all :)
I think they still don't mind catching a Yankee here & there. ;-)
I was amused at the local sheriff trying to take credit after the arrest was made by the MACE officer:
Long County Sheriff Cecil Nobles said forged drivers' licenses have been confiscated in the past, but was surprised at the number of cards seized. "We hit the jackpot with this bust," he said. "I appreciate MACE helping us with this. We made a good arrest and kept these cards off the street."
There are those who say nothing good or bad happens in the county that the High Sheriff doesn't know about....they probably give him a little too much credit. After all, he's not God. ;-)
