We are at Cumberland Island, Ga., just above the Florida line, as I am writing this, although we have no internet so it won’t be posted probably for a few days. Cumberland Island is 85% National Park, with herds of wild horses roaming free, although we have only seen 1/2 dozen or so. The island is 20 miles long and about 1 mile wide. You can only get here by boat. There is a ferry that comes in at 10:15am to drop people off and then again at 4:45pm to pick them. There are campsites here, but you must bring everything with you and take everything back, including your garbage. We talked to a couple of people from the Atlanta area that had come to camp for the weekend; this was their 2nd time to come here. We walked out to the beach this morning and looked for shells. It was really strange to be on such a nice beach and have only a handful of people out there. It is truly a beautiful place and we have collected our share of sea shells.

Bottom left - a baby racoon that got separated from his family - they crossed the path and he lagged behind.
