Another warm night, although quite overcast when we got up.
After breakfast Lyn did some quilting while I hit e-bay looking for a replacement for our super-duper-does-everything remote for the entertainment systems. It has been getting a little finicky lately, and doing odd things in the middle of watching TV!
After lunch we headed out to the USCG (Coast Guard) station near Brunswick. There was a nature walk there, together with a geocache site. The walk was a fairly short one for us (would have been a fairly long one last year), but it had some interesting information on wildlife , trees and shrubs in the area. We saw what we thought were some type of mushroom growing on the ground, but we haven’t managed to identify it, any answers?
There were also a number of southern red cedar in the area, this looked a lot different from other trees as the trunk splits into multiple limbs close to the ground.
Further round the trail we headed down a boardwalk to a flat marshy area. This type of area is very common within about 10 miles of the coastline down here. If ever global warming takes hold (after this winter that’s a big “if”) a lot of this area will be flooded out. The vast expanse of greenery (brownery) is sea grass. In the background is St Simons Island
The flatter area towards the front of the picture had hundreds of small crabs wandering around until we went to join them, then only a few were left the rest having disappeared down holes. These crabs were around 1.5 inches long.
Before we left we managed to find the cache as well.
We headed over to Jekyll Island for what may be our last trip as the weather forecast for the next few days isn’t too good.
We managed to find 3 out 3 caches on the island so that was a good way to spend our last afternoon there. We did see one of the more superfluous signs we had ever seen on the edge of a golf course. The nearest water was the coast about a mile away.
On the way back to the RV we stopped at two more caches and found both. We also stopped at the supermarket for a spaghetti squash. This squash was later to earn fame as a new weapon of mass destruction.
Despite Lyn having put numerous vent holes in the squash before putting it in the microwave, it still managed a pretty good explosion while cooking.
