Cumberland Island

Since Pacific High has not been to Cumberland Island, we stopped to trek about. We tried the S dock after anchoring, but it was closed for repair, so we went N to the Campsea dock. Jamie's lifetime park pass got us all in for free! We hiked through the lush great oak canopy, with saw palmetto undergrowth. Fantastic, and cool in the deep shade. The beach is very pretty, and we walked S 2 miles, looking at shells. Then back inland to see the ruins of the Carnegie mansion Dungeness along with the many supporting buildings (ice house, power hose, carriage house, guest houses, recreation building, servant quarters, laundry, etc. In 1890-1905, there were over 100 people working here. We continued back to the dock and returned, having seen turtle tracks, deer tracks, wild turkey, wild horses, and lots of birds. Plus 1 armadillo.Baca lagi
