Left Savannah for the final trek home because honestly, I'm a little tired of driving around. Decided to still stop by Congaree National Park in SC even though it was flooded. After weaving around some closed roads due to flooding and storm damage, made it to the park and saw the floodplain swamp forest in "action." Continued on from there to my parents' house in southwestern VA. And with this, the epic road-trip is done! Now I need to figure out where I want to live and what I'm going to do with my life from here...
