I haven’t has wi-fi for several days. We were able to stop at the library and check the e-mail using their computer, but we couldn’t update the blog. We finally found a hotel parking lot with access today. We are at Amelia Island, just North of Jacksonville now. Slowly working our way home. We left Melbourne Friday morning and drove to Huegonaut Memorial Park, outside of Jacksonville. It is a really neat park that is between the ocean and the St. John’s River, right across from Mayfield Naval station. It was storming when we arrived, but managed to get set up (our site was right on the river) and take a drive on the beach (you are allowed to drive right on the beach) before the storms came back. The wind was pretty strong and the sand was blowing all night. We finally gave up and left about 8am—while we still had some paint on the camper and truck!. We were able to get into a spot at Ft. Clinch, the state park where we had reservations for the next three nights. We had to move campsites after the first night to the one we had reserved…but that was ok. We were out of the wind, somewhat…the first campsite was on the ocean, but was sheltered by a wide expanse of dunes and little foliage. It was neat to be able to take the boardwalk right to the ocean from the campsite, too bad it was cold and windy.(you can see the board walk behind out camper in the picture. Saturday we checked out some of the shops in Fernandina and took a trolley from the park to an archeological dig going on in the historical area of Fernandina. Sunday we moved to our reserved site on the Amelia River. We enjoyed not having the wind in the sheltered campsite. Monday it was off to the beach again. There is an area of Amelia Island called America Beach that is much like Idelwild in Michigan, a vacation area founded by an Afro-American group in the ‘30s and used until de-segregation. Beautiful nice wide beach. That’s where we spent the afternoon! (Had to use that beach chair we bought one more time!). We went to see Ft. Clinch this morning--interesting place- Civil War Fort. We are starting North tomorrow, will probbly spend some time in Charleston before coming all the way home. R. just told me to say "Hi Barb"--for a friend of ours at Wamplers Lake. Check out the pictures above. Do you see anything strange in the one of the archelogical dig? Sorta a strange mix--college students, civil war soldiers and park rangers. Time Warp? The picutre of the fort was taken from the beach on the Amelia river looking towards the Atlantic Ocean.
