Jekyll Island

Great day at Jekyll Island.  We arrived to such thick fog you could not see your hand in front of you.  Pic 1 I took this picture at Driftwood beach and you can see the fog in the background with the beach and the tree overhanging.  So pretty......Pic 2 , Gary and I were walking along the beach at Great Dunes Park and he noticed what looked like a rock in the water...when we looked closer, we thought it was a turtle!! Correction....it was a Horseshoe Crab. They are often called "Living Fossils" because their ancestors dated back 200 million years before Dinosaur existed.   I run out between waves to get the pic...So Awesome!!!!   Pic 3 is of the Horton House, Major William Horton was granted Jekyll Island from 1743 he built the house(one of the oldest house in Georgia) and across the street was the ruins of his brewery(Pic 4).   Pic 5 is of Captain James Agnew Clark's cottage is the Historical District.   Pic 6 is of Jekyll Island Club Hotel.  It was originally the home of John Eugene duBignon and in 1886 was turned into the richest most inexcessible club in the world of its time which has seen the likes of  Joseph Pulitzer, William K Vanderbilt and J P Morgan.   Pic 7 is duBignon's cottage from 1884 and pic 8 is the cottage of Moss Cottage was once owned by George Macy....Beautiful Island and finished up with lunch of steamed Oysters at the RahBar at the Jekyll wharf!!  Notice the play on words...instead of Raw...they put Rah!!!  Like it is pronounced!!!  Hahaha
