I fell in love with Cumberland Island National Seashore on our first visit there last December and with this visit, my love is reaffirmed! This time we lingered for days, taking advantage of some pretty good protection from NE winds and the many hiking trails on the island. We tried some of the less-popular trails, hiking over 9 miles on our first day there! We also revisited our old favorites...Dungeness Ruins, the washed up buoy on the beach, the horses! I even got to catch up with a boat mom I met in the Bahamas and meet a few others as we braved 20+ knot winds and a sporty dinghy ride to head ashore for some exercise one morning. We enjoyed our time in nature, on solid ground, with the sweet horses and a ton of cute armadillos! I even braved the cold camp showers just for fun!

A fabulous day of hiking north along the beach to Stafford Camp, then back down the Parallel Trail to the docks (over 9 miles!).

Revisited Dungeness Ruins, the marsh boardwalks, the washed up buoy on the beach, and of course, horses!

I love the adventurous group of boat mamas I reconnected with and met here! We had a wet dinghy ride, but enjoyed a nice run/walk, complete with fresh grapefruit and lots of horses!
