Saint Marys

Crooked River State Park Saint Marys, Georgia

After a morning walk, we packed up and got ready to move south. We had a very short ride. We drove on Winding Road, past Meandering Way on our way to Crooked River State Park. We were too early to get into the campground so we hung out by the river while we waited.

We noticed a hitchhiker on the top front of the RV.

Gopher tortoises are the state reptile of Georgia. They dig burrows in the ground that up to 360 other species of animals also use. Their burrows can be 10 feet deep and 48 feet long. Females of the species occasionally visit with other females in their dens.

This afternoon, we drove past the Kings Bay Submarine Base into the town of Saint Marys. Ferries to Cumberland National Seashore leave from here. The town is very well done with lovely parks and waterfront areas.

Southern hospitality…

Nice walk in the campground before dinner.

It looks like our friend Eta is not going to bother with us, so we are heading into Florida tomorrow!
