Trip to Cumberland Island (August 2006)

WEDNESDAY: Hike south from Stafford Beach, back to Sea Camp

Stafford Beach Campground

Morning at the Stafford Beach campsite. Many of the tent sites have live oak trees like this.

Stafford Beach Campground water spigot

Up until a few months ago, the only service at Stafford Beach campsite was this water spigot.


Stafford Beach Campground bathrooms

Now, there are bathrooms with flush toilets, showers, and sinks.
(The water still must be filtered or boiled.)

Dungeness Ruins on south Cumberland Island

Dungeness Ruins

A little over 2 hours hike south, we were back on the south end of the island (where most people visit).
Here is the entrance to the Dungeness Ruins.  The history of Dungeness started with James Oglethorpe, who built a hunting lodge he called Dungeness on the island in 1736.   In 1881, Thomas Carnegie (brother of Andrew Carnegie) built an estate there.

These ruins are what most people come to see. A grand reminder of a time gone by.
