Brunswick

Blythe Island Regional Park Brunswick, Georgia Day 2

Thee was intermittent rain during the night and more rain this morning. We decided to spend another night here. The rain stopped for a short time and I tried to get in my morning walk.

About halfway around the loop, it began to rain again…hard! Thank goodness for my bike umbrella (thanks Vicki!)

The skies began to brighten and we packed the cooler and headed to Brunswick island with the Jeep and our bikes. We rode by the marina.

Through town.

Old City Hall.

New City Hall.

Through Queen’s Square.

Through Hanover Square.

We circled back to the marina on a bike path along the causeway. There was a Farmers Market in the park and we got fresh corn and zucchini and squash and tomatoes and Georgia pecans!

This evening we took a walk. I had noticed 2 rabbits in the campground yesterday…today we saw lots…big, well-fed, soft, fluffy, colorful bunnies that seem to call this park home! A little research revealed that families who no longer want to keep their pet rabbits bring them here. They and their babies are allowed to roam freely. There is a non-profit group, Blythe Island Bunnies, that tries to find homes for some of the bunnies.

Beautiful this evening at the dock.

This evening, we decided to add another day to our stay here. There is this Tropical Storm/Hurricane, Eta, headed for south Florida. We have reservations there beginning on the 14th of November. We had thought we would be be in Florida by now…but we need to wait and see what the weather does and what path the storm takes. So we are going to stall here for a couple of days to let the rain and winds pass.
