Good news....the rain hasn't started yet....it's cloudy...but that's okay. The Weather Network shows rain for the next few weeks....no matter which way we go....the rain is going to get us.

Joe had a few free loaders this morning....



Inmates at work again...or not working!

This area is very much about the front porch and rocking chair ....
And oh these trees....

these trees....

these amazing trees...





And the cutest little basset hound ever...she's only 3 months old!

St.Simons Lighthouse and Visitor Centre




My time as a tree hugger!
She is a tree spirit on the Island.

The air smells so nice here...it's a mixture of the sweetness from the flowers
and the saltiness of the ocean....


This Pelican was a real wise ass....fishermen were giving him small fish heads...
and he wanted no part of them...he wanted whole fish....nothing else would do for him.


As soon as he thought this guy caught a fish....
he waddled over closer to him to see what he was about to get to eat!


And when your car gets faded from the sun....why not just paint yourself a sun...and a garden...

At the Sea Island Golf Course there is the Avenue of the Oaks. They are a double row of oak trees planted in 1826....today they are said to be over 160 years old.




The rain was beginning but we thought we would check out the Fort Frederica National Monument....we started to walk out to see the fort....and the further we went....the more biting bugs we encountered.....this is George and Joe fighting off the bugs...before we ran to the truck...


..this is about all we saw from the zoom lense...while running and swatting bugs!

The entire Island has these amazing tree lined roads...


And this is probably the craziest bridge we have been across yet!

So the RV park we are in has several permanent tenants.....some pretty decent RV's...
some that look like this....but the place is clean....nobody drives fast through the park (which we have encountered at many nice parks) and there is no dog waste anywhere....it's an old place...nothing has been upgraded for many years.......but I guess this is their home...
...they are all friendly.......we feel safe enough here...
I think Tony from Galveston Texas made us realize many of these people have lost so much and this is really what they have....it doesn't make them bad....it just is...it's their home...good or bad or indifferent....

George and Joe met this lady and her puppy the day before and wanted me to see it.  The lady was nice enough that when she saw us walk by she brought the puppy out for us to see because she knows the guys like the puppy.

She just loves her puppy...like we all love our dogs....she said the puppy is a "Gator mouth Pitpull" crossed with a Mastiff....at 3 months old she can barely walk it because it is so so strong!!!! The puppy is adorable but I still cannot bring myself to pet it ....they just terrify me...

You can see the love in her eyes for her baby!!!

It's been windy for quite some time....like weeks...this morning it's pretty calm...but they are calling for more wind in the afternoon..... Decided to ride our bikes into St. George and check it out...really small casual little beach city... More white sandy beaches....this time with lots of shells...spent a good hour shell hunting... We saw lots of crab holes in the ground...apparently they are called "ghost crabs" and they only come out at night and they are almost transparent.. I was so excited when I spotted this shell.....but somebody was inside... and this baby crab on the outside!!! They have these really cute "tiny narrow rental homes".... these are the first skinny homes we have seen!! Saw dolphins in the distance for the first time today....super excited....George has to "make me move one" ....because I could stay all day and watch them... Biked out on the fishing bridge....this one goes out qui...

Today is the day....we must leave New York....it`s been great... it`s been expensive....and it`s time to go... Gracie may have wanted to visit this place...but no Dog Spa for her... Today is also the day we will part paths with Brother Joe...we will head West....because we must....he will have another direction...we will miss him....has been a great time travelling with him. It took us almost an hour to wind our way out of Jersey City...it was raining...and I swear Roxanne had us going in circles....there was detour after detour...and some ridiculously narrow streets.....but we made it......we had no idea where we were...the skies were grey and dismal and we just seemed to be going around and around..... And then this crazy horrible sign appeared...WTF....WEST!!! What is that!!!! It wasn`t long before we left the busy streets for rolling hill of trees...it is just so green and so hilly.... I love this one...it`s the first we have ever seen...... ...

It's a pretty fitting day to leave the beach...it's raining....it's still warm...but it's still raining.... Taking a ferry today instead of dealing with the traffic...won't take any time off our trip...but will take the miles off our trip...cost wise...not too sure...but if it can eliminate a few hours on the road in the city...it's worth it. This bird decided to build a nest in the busiest place ever!!! Right at the Ferry Terminal... And all along the way....Dophins.....Yay!! I will never tire of seeing them playing in the water! So before long we are on the New Jersey Turnpike.... which just means .....toll....after toll.....after toll.... and you have no idea which lane you are supposed to be in... Nightmare! Marty!!!.... You will love this....... You know all those American dimes and nickels I was saving.... Finally had a chance to use them.... Oh the look on his face when I gave him $6.00 in dimes and nickels!!! W...
