When I last left you we were getting ready to put Half Note in the water, go pick up Doug and Tammy, and go exploring Cumberland Island, the playground of the Carnegie's. Cumberland Island is one of the jewels in our National Parks. We decided to go the River Trail to the Carnegie's Dungeness Ruins. It was a long walk but we didn't notice because there were so many things to see along the way, including, but not limited to all the wild horses, wildlife, beautiful moss draped live oak tree forests, and don't forget the two dung beetles moving their dinner home. (you only get to see that on National Geographic specials) The Dungeness ruins were neat. I could only imagine how it was back in its day. I wish it could talk, I'm sure it would have some great stories to tell . We decided to take the beach way back and cool our heels while we walked. The beach goes on for miles and has many species of water birds, shelling, and a lot of other stuff to look at. The Live Oak forests were almost spooky, like out of a Harry Potter movie, but gorgeous. There are a lot more trails and places to explore on the Island, but that will have to wait for another day. We need to get back, take care of a little business, have September Song's bottom patted and painted, and then it's off to the Chesapeake.
