Annette and I arrived Fernandina Beach and had a bit of trouble escaping. It is such a quaint little place we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. <\/p>\n

Just as we started thinking we should start moving on the cool rainy weather started so we decided to stay on a couple more days. Annette made great use of the time at the dock by finishing a number of projects such as a screen for the enclosure. <\/p>\n

As we were preparing to depart our friends from SV Cutting Class (They are both former school teachers) arrived so we all headed to Cumberland Island about 8 miles to the north.<\/p>\n

Cumberland Island<\/a> is an amazingly beautiful place. We went on 4-4 mile hike and walked through amazing forest areas with Spanish Moss across the Oaks to expansive march lands to the wide beach above. Annette and I saw a story about on 60 Minutes once and have wanted to visit ever since. <\/p>\n

Dan discovers our first \u201chazard\u201d of the day, a comfortable horse taking a rest in the middle of the trail. He \"2014_04_14_11_45_42_AWB-039\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After finding an alternate route around we discovered he had a pal and they were in the middle of a sit down. I suspect wanting more apple trees planted. He way, they were not moving!<\/p>\n

The mansion Dungeness, was built my the Carnegie family who at one time owned 90% of the island. \u201cThe last time Dungeness was used was for the 1929 wedding of a Carnegie daughter. After the crash and the Great Depression, the family left the island and kept the mansion vacant. It burned in a 1959 fire, believed to have been started by a poacher who had been shot in the leg by a caretaker weeks before. Today, the ruins of the mansion remain on the southern end of the island.\u201d<\/p>\n
