Naval Base, Crooked River State Park

This is the Naval Submarine base right beside the park.   Pretty Cool, they have a submarine buried right at the entrance to the base.  It is a big base called Kingsbay Submarine. 

Love going for a walk to Crooked River State Park which is a short walk away.  I decided to take my camera and just past the pond and there was a crane .   The park is such a beautiful walk and they tell me that somedays you can see Dolphins in the river.  No luck for me yet but I am hopeful.

We drove thru the Avenue of Oaks.  Most of them are 400 yrs old(Pic 4) so beautiful!!!  Stopped by the Christ Episcopal Church (one of the 5 oldest churches in US)(Pic 5).  Took a picture of the old gravestone from 1900...Born on Feb 18 and died on Sept 15....(Pic 7).  Also in front of the church took a picture of the live Holly tree(Pic 6).   Also got a pic of the bridge see how steep(pic 8)....Wow!

Tully Sugar Works, Folkston, Brunswick, Jekyll Island

It was such a beautiful sunny day (17C) we decided to go for a drive.  Took Hwy 40 to Folkston and on to Brunswick GA passing by Waycross and Nahunta.   Stopped at the tourist office before Jekyll Island.  This will be a return trip this week as it is an all day exploration.   Beautiful trip today.   

 

 

 

These pictures are from the Tully Sugar Works not far from our motorhome.  This was built in 1625 to process the sugar cane.  Can't believe it is still standing.  It was made from seashells and mortar.  Unbelievable!!
