St Marys Georgia and Walkabout Campground

We found a nice little campground (Passport America) near the sleepy little town of St. Marys Georgia. Our ritual when we pull into a new place is to stop at the checkin, pull into the site and I go outside to watch as Gary backs in and drops the levelers. As soon as this happens, Blue pokes head head out from under my chair to see if it is secure for him to venture out. ALL CLEAR BLUE! The town of St. Marys sits at the southern most point of Georgia, protected by the barrier island known as Cumberland Island National Seashore, the largest of Georgia's barrier islands. St. Marys is the second oldest continuously inhabited city in the US, next to St. Augustine in FL. The Cumberland Island is protected and can be visited by ferry for walks and bike rides around the island to enjoy nature and a few wild horses. The area is filled with legends of historic battles, daring pirates, antebellum mansions, live oaks dripping with moss and succulent native rock shrimp.
