Headed to King's Bay, GA and Fernandino Beach, FL

   Today we're going to the Naval Base in King's Bay, GA to make the final arrangements for storing Harvey for Nov and Dec.  And while we're that far south, we decided to check out the beach at Fort Cinch State Park just over the Florida line.  We left about 9:00 and arrived at King's Bay about 9:50.  We did all the business we needed to do and headed for the commissary which had been closed the last time we were there.  It was spectacular as compared to other "grocery stores" on base.  We can hardly wait to shop there when we go back down in January!!  Then we drove out to the campground to meet up with the camp host who has the key to the storage area.  We were also able to do Harvey's final "dumping" for $5.00.  The campground is beautiful with flowers and shrubbery and partially surrounded by trees and a lake.  It has cement pads for the RV and the picnic table which is always nice!  The "club house" is   practically brand new and the laundry is FREE!!  We will definitely be staying there sometime in the future.

  We ate lunch at Sonny's BarBQ (there just happened to be one close by) and then headed to the beach at Fort Cinch in Fernandina, FL.  About a mile down the road we passed the front entrance to the Naval/Submarine base and were surprised to see an interesting illusion.

Looks like there is a submarine coming out of the ground.

  We missed the entrance to the park, but found the same beach right next door and without a fee, so we just stayed there.  There were a lot of shells for us and shell pieces for my sister, so we were there for about 4 hrs leaving around 5pm.

  On the way out we spotted a skate park and decided to take some pix to show John's son, Dustin, who is an accomplished skateboarder.

  We arrived back on Jekyll about 6pm.  We then headed to Dairy Queen for a blizzard and decided to take a drive around the island to spot deer.  On the way we came upon a beautiful sunset on the outskirts of the Historic District.  We took a bunch of pictures and headed back to Harvey spotting about 2 dozen deer.  It was a wonderful day!!



The sunset was so beautiful!
