Cumberland Island National Seashore preserves most of Cumberland Island in Georgia, the largest of Georgia's Golden Barrier Sea Isles. The seashore features magnificent and unspoiled beaches and dunes, marshes, and freshwater lakes. The island abounds with wildlife including about 200 feral horses, Alligators, wild dear, Armadillos and even a few bald eagles. In addition to the natural features, the seashore includes some historic properties, such as Dungeness Ruins, once the magnificant site of the Carnegie estate along with the first African Baptist Church where John F Kennedy JR was married.
We had a strong cold front move through yesterday which made for a rocky anchorage and the onslaught of cold weather. Ughh! I thought we left winter behind us! Today it's about 20 degrees cooler than it has been the last few days. So we bundled up on our hike today and are now looking at the charts for the next place to head to south of here, continuing to find that endless summer that keeps eluding us.
