Evidently there was a brief shower early this morning, but I slept through it! The morning was definitely warmer, and blue sky was replacing grey clouds, things were looking up.
After breakfast Lyn settled down to some quilting, and I headed outside to remove the stuff from the storage compartment under the trailer. I was trying to work out why there was so little heat coming into the bedroom and bathroom. The first problem was on the floor of the basement area where there is an air outlet, this is there to keep the area warm and prevent pipes from freezing. The outlet had been broken by my repeatedly pushing a tool box in and out of the compartment; all the hot air was pouring out of the vent. Once this was repaired the air flow in the bedroom and bathroom was noticeably better but not great. The next issue appears to be a design issue which has the duct work going round way too many corners to move the air efficiently. This is a job for another day.
After lunch the temperature had risen to around 16°C so we decided to make use of our pass and head out to Jekyll Island again for some more geo-caching. Today we found all three sites that we were looking for. The more we do this the more we enjoy it. It really is a great way to get out and see areas we would never go to otherwise. Today’s area was at the south end of the island close to the beach. The caches were in an area were there were a lot of small pathways which were not heavily used. The caches themselves were usually 20 – 30ft off the paths, to prevent accidental discovery. Below are some photo’s showing what we were looking for.

A small “ammo” container hidden in a split in a tree taken from a distance and close up.
This last one was “interesting” all the clues suggested the sandcastle was on the beach, in fact it was about 125ft from the beach. Once we found it and re-read the clues it became obvious that they were cryptic, but 100% correct. Not only do we get physical exercise, the brain gets a workout too.
While walking around the paths we came across a spring in a small pond, very reminiscent of New Zealand.
Close to one of the caches we found an unusual machine, in fact there were two of them about 50ft apart.
If you have any idea what it is please let me know.
Below are a couple of shots of trees and grass growing on the beach.
Nice pics!!!!….Thanks for sharing 🙂

The large iron objects are fixed position gun placements from the Civil war era. The muzzle loading gun is missing. The front end is fixed and the back end has the two wheels to move the gun to point in the right direction.
Whoa, a man of many talents! The was front pivoted into rock and the two wheels at the rear ran on a short length of circular metal track.
Thanks Charlie.
