Pics from Cumberland Island Trip

Hired Geek and I took a little trip way down south to Cumberland Island. For those who know the island, we hiked thursday afternoon from the ferry dock to Yankee Paradise where we broke camp, next day we hiked back south to Stafford beach. Then saturday we hiked back to the dock to catch the ferry back to civilization.
The trip was amazing. Armadillos, wild horses, swamps, live oaks, spanish moss decorate the entire island. There wasn't a cloud with a hundred miles when we were there. It was beautiful.

I plan on making another trip down there before the end of the year. I'll post the new trip then...

p.s. we took over 1200 pictures so you might have to take a bit to look at all of them...

p.s.s. Hired Geek shoots a Canon 40D if you're wondering why the pictures are in such great quality. $800 tends to make a nice pic!”

“Love that place! Thanks for sharing!”

“I thought it was just wild horses and armidillo's...I didn't know there were Monkey's too!!!What type of monkeys were those????


Great Pics of those Monkeys tho!!!”

“hey hey its spam the comedian!”

“Everything is there - except coyotes. I can't believe they haven't swam there yet /o:

The largest gator I have ever seen was sunning beside s pond in the mid-dune area near Duckhouse trail. The pic I took w/my $3.00 disposable looks like a picture taken a $3.00 disposable... go figure.

Food is abundant, too. Oysters, clams, bass (Lake Whitney), scrambled loggerhead turtle eggs, pigmy sperm whale (beach washup), deer, hog, etc...”

“That's right - I SWALLOWED SPERM (whale) AND DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS!

;)”

“ummm... no comment about the whale... BUT i heard some stories of a gator up in Lake Whitney that the locals call Goliath. Supposedly, when the island had a big fire years ago, some helicopters flying over head saw the gator, said he had to be at least 10-12 feet long... YIKES! We never saw any. which i guess is a good thing.”

“Yepper. This one was a twelver. There's a seventeener in the Okeefedokee. I suspect Cumby has one nigh that size somewhere...

I was joshing about the whale and turtle eggs. Carol Ructaschel - the biologist that has the museum at the Settlement - had a pigmy carcess in her yard once. Stunk, it did.

Whitney fishing has always been catch-and-release.”
