We took the ferry to Cumberland Island from St. Marys located at the most southeastern part of Georgia. After having several weeks of beautiful fall weather, it turned and has been hot and sultry breaking area records. Usually this was jacket weather.
Joining us on the ferry was a class of 7th grade students and a bunch of backpackers and campers intending on staying. You have to bring in all your food and supplies.
The picture of the woman below wearing a jacket is crazy. It was 92 degrees and 100% humidity. Apparently people wore long sleeves to protect themselves from ticks. They looked so sad. I would just look and shake my head. Oh my it was hot! We were committed to this trip. The ferry tickets were nonrefundable, as well as the deposit on the hotel in St. Marys. So we did it! We hiked with packs. Michael carried our lunches and water. I had my camera pack. We sweat through everything. Then we got all salty from the ocean. The water felt so good when we reached the beach. We still needed to return to the ferry pickup site. I don't think I have been so hot, ever.
The island has wild horses that are relatively tame and wander all over. They looked healthy and content and would pop up when you least expected.
These seagulls seemed to have a problem.
