March 20-21 2012 St Marys, Georgia

We said good bye to Florida and headed into Georgia. We are only a couple miles into Georgia,but so far it looks the same. St Marys is right by the Kings River naval base which is home to trident missile nuclear submarines. We are at Crooked River State park on the Crooked River where it runs into the Atlantic ocean. We took off for a bike ride and checked out the park. Pretty nice.

The next day we went into St Marys. Small cute town. We went to the submarine museum. Here is John driving a trident sub.

The mill is made out of ‘tabby’ which is sand, lime and oyster shells. To the left is a close up. And another doorway.
