| 4 | Today, we made the rather short hop from McIntosh Manor (in Townsend, GA) over to Jekyll Island. Ok, let's be more clear. While McIntosh Manor may have a USPS address via Townsend, GA, it's actually located in the very nice and very little town of Eulonia, GA. | ||

| 7 | Actually, one last thing we **had** to do before leaving Eulonia, was to do a selfie with The Pig, outside of the Piggly Wiggly grocery store! | ||

| 12 | With all of our duties fulfilled, we left Eulonia for points south. | ||

2.1 | 14 | We decided that since the checkout time at McIntosh Manor was noon, and the checkin time at Jekyll Island is 2pm, we would have more than enough time to drive 40 miles and even take in a hike along the way. So, as we were about to cross over the East River, south of Brunswick, we stopped at the little nature walk known as "Earth Day Nature Trail". We were able to park the trailer under the highway 17 bridge, so it would be in the shade (and, of course, we could monitor the trailer temperature over the net!) |

| 19 | So, with the kitty safely stored away in the trailer, we walked over to the nature trail. | ||

| 23 | After the walk, we continued across the bridge and over to Jekyll Island, to the campground. | ||

6.1 | 25 | Per usual, we took a walk, this time over to Driftwood Beach. |

| 31 | The plan is to actually get up (far too) early tomorrow morning and watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, from Driftwood Beach. | ||
