Floridaaaaaaa! And our last day in Georgia
21/Mar 2025
Crooked River State Park was delightful, small camping area, lovely hiking trails and 5 geocaches! I found them all and had 15,000 steps at the end of the day. There was an area that had a recent controlled burn, the ammo can was intact, but the contents were cooked. We had a chat with a couple in a converted school bus, they travel full time with their (gulp) 8 children. Oh my… All seemed quiet on their site. After hiking we went into St. Marys, explored historical spots, found a brewery and went to 5 o’clock Mass. Interesting Mass, many young folk and a few old with mantillas. Then the priest faced the tabernacle instead of the congregation. I haven’t seen that since I was 6 or 7 years old… Anyway, I have added this area as a place to return to and stay for four or five days, so we can go to Cumberland Island, Jekyll Island and Amelia Island. We got an early start today and drove 269 miles to Fort DeSoto Park. Looking forward to seeing family while we are here. We’re finally somewhere for a while, two weeks at the beach!
