Blue Heaven Rendezvous #9
Friday, Nov. 14
We enjoyed a slow morning since we were only going to the other end of Cumberland Island which was about 9 miles. We used the dinghy to get to the dock which is where two small ferries land. Today they brought a number of 4th graders for a field trip. We brought our bikes with us and used them to get around the island. It wasn’t the easiest biking due to a lot of loose sand in the primitive roads and paths. It was a unique setting with the monkey vines, Spa
nish moss hanging from the trees and the southern flora. We were able to see the wild horses, an ice house and the ruins of Dungeness the former Thomas Carnegie mansion (burned in 1959).
Out to the beach we then headed, riding the boardwalk as far as possible and then pushing our bikes the rest of the way. Once on the hard sand of the beach it was easy biking especially since we were going with the wind. The sound of the ocean, sea gulls (and about 50 fourth graders) combined with the magnificent view, made for a memorable bike ride and day on Cumberland Island.
