Cumberland Island

We decided to motor up to Georgia and visit Cumberland Island National Seashore to see if we could find the wild horses that live on the island. It wasn’t a very long distance to go, about 25 miles, and along the way we found the cheapest diesel fuel in the south! In Jacksonville, the marina wanted $4.40 per gal and the marina in Ferdinand was $4.79! Now, just 3 hundred yards away, there was a commercial dock that sold fuel to us for $3.66… Yah HO!!! Over a dollar per gallon savings, what a find! When you are buying over 100+ gals of fuel this can really add up. Anyway, this Blog is about our hike around Cumberland Island. We did find the wild horses and deer and wild turkey and one great ruin of a mansion that the Carnegie family built in the late 1800’s. It was a great idea to visit the national park and we hope to return again someday. The live oak trees were right out of a scary movie.
