Living in Boston, you get used to the roads lined with sidewalks and street lights. Take a trip down Rt 17 on your way to Savannah from Hilton Head at night and you're in for the polar opposite. Pitch black, just two lanes and lots of trees. It can be a bit intimidating, particularly when you are trying not to miss the few lefts and rights you need to take off of Rt.46 and Rt. 170 to actually make in to Savannah. Oh yeah, it can get foggy -- and maybe some deer too...
I couldn't help but wonder where I was going to end up if I missed a turn. For now, I'll stick to Rt. 17 during the daylight hours only. A trip to or from Savannah at dark will be on well lit I95 even if it does take longer.
By the way I'd take the darkness and trees over those unnatural street lights any day.
