The Experience

“You ever ridden one of these before?” That’s what Marcus, our guide, asked as he handed me a helmet under this old live oak dripping with Spanish moss. I’d never even touched a Segway. The cemetery felt cool and damp that morning—Savannah air always has this soft weight to it, like you’re breathing through lace. We practiced for a few minutes in the parking lot (I wobbled, Marcus grinned), then rolled right into Bonaventure Cemetery’s main avenue. It’s bigger than I expected—over 100 acres—and somehow peaceful but not spooky at all.

I kept getting distracted by the little things: the crunch of gravel under the wheels, the way sunlight hit an angel statue just so, or how someone had left fresh gardenias on Gracie Watson’s grave. Marcus told us about Johnny Mercer—his grave was covered in pebbles and old coins—and pointed out how some headstones leaned like they were tired from holding up so many stories. There was this moment where we stopped near the riverbank; I could hear cicadas going wild and smell brackish water mixing with cut grass. Didn’t expect that to stick with me.

The Segway made it easy to cover so much ground—I mean, we went from one corner of Bonaventure to another without breaking a sweat (which is saying something in Savannah). Sometimes we’d pass locals walking slow, nodding hello like we were part of their morning routine. Marcus knew everyone; he waved at an older man tending roses who just smiled back without missing a beat. The tour ended almost too soon—my legs were jelly but my head was full. I still think about that hush between the trees when nobody talked for a minute or two… just rolling, listening to birds and wind.
