Okay, I concede. I did indeed go down 4305 from Hwy 82. Although it was a pretty drive, Savannah was not there. It IS on the second leg south of 1701. Told you I had been wrong before. Just add another one!!

I must check out that road tomorrow. I have been down it twice and found it to be a beautiful drive. Yes, there were curves and dips. It is a very populated road. As I recall it was blacktop, but may have been gravel. I also do not recall Savannah being south of 1701, but I have been wrong before. I thought the Gilliam Cemetery was the one that was south of 1701.
