Hello.
I am currently in St. Marys, Georgia.
I am about to go to Cumberland Island National Park.
Cumberland Island is only accessible through a ferry ride.
So, it's a 40 minute ride to get to and from the island.
We're out on the main road right now
which is called Grand Avenue.
It was originally built back during the Nathanael Greene period.
People will come here to go camping
and they do bike riding,
and it's just a nice place to come and kind of disconnect,
to go off the grid.
They don't allow any vehicles on here that aren't registered with them.
So, no cars here.
If you want to make the best of your time and get around,
get to know the island, you have to book a tour
which is what I did because I'm only gonna be here for a day.
I think it might be.
Gosh, that's a big raccoon.
Raccoons eat well here.
You can approach that animal there if you'd like.
Little armadillo.
John F Kennedy Jr. And Carolyn Bessette
were actually married right in this church,
The First African Baptist Church here in Cumberland Island.
There isn't really much on Cumberland Island
except for some plantations.
And there's a few private properties
but for the most part there's not really no a lot of bathrooms
or restaurants or things like that.
So, if you do come here, you have to pack your own lunch
and anything that you might need during your stay here.
We just stop for some lunch here at the beautiful Plum Orchard Mansion
which we're gonna get a tour of after we eat.
This is the area where I'm gonna have some lunch.
I packed myself of peanut butter and banana sandwich.
This mansion is over 24,000 square feet.
This right here is my corner of the library.
Tea, biscuits and a Tiffany lamp.
The basement is big enough to be its own house.
-Wow it's an elevator. -It's creepy.
So, when they first run the DC current up here,
they could run one light bulb for like two hours,
maybe, if you're lucky.
So, they scrapped all that plant, quit all that work,
and then they went ac/dc.
And if anybody's an electrician or has anything of interest electrical,
look at this circuit board, is amazing.
Wow.
This is the Dungeness Ruins,
and it is the ruins of a huge estate that was here,
it was 50,000 square feet.
Cumberland Island is known for their wild horses.
There are over 200 horses that we know of on the island.
They're not really quite sure how the horses came to be on here
but these are completely wild horses, nobody feeds them,
they take care of themselves.
That is it for this tour of Cumberland Island.
