After setting up camp in St Mary's, GA, I quickly set up some times to get together with friends from my college days. Specifically I got together with my Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority big sister, Claudia. It was wonderful. The first day we just went to a seafood restaurant in St Mary's and talked. The following day, we packed a lunch and rode the ferry over to Cumberland Island - where wild horses still roam. What an enchanting place Cumberland Island is...its history is both intriguing and fascinating. And of course, it is a true gift to reconnect with old friends. Claudia is an extraordinary woman...always has been and will always be.
Many people may associate Cumberland Island with JFK Jr's wedding, but it really is so much more. Today part of the island is still privately owned. The remainder of the island is accessible only by water/ferry/boat. There is a bed and breakfast on the island as well as camping and ruins of the old home once occupied by members of the Carnegie family. Strongly recommend anyone to visit this place...it is special.
