Not a long drive but it sure took time to get from Spring Hills FL to Brunswick GA. I-75 was 5 mph traffic for a few miles, mostly due to construction. And there seems to be construction everywhere. We hit slow traffic several times. At one point I said it appeared that they were working on every interchange on I-75 in FL.
Then there was the Strawberry Festival in Starke FL, it took 20 minutes to get through town and past the festival grounds. It looked like a fun place to be.
We arrived at Golden Isles RV Park in Brunswick GA about 3:30. That was early enough that we rode out to Jekyll Island to look around. We found a great big beach to walk on briefly. There was a big thunderstorm coming over the island so we couldn't stay long. Then we took a drive around the island, got a very heavy downpour and lightning show there and most of the way back to camp. So Jekyll Island is very scenic but a bit too heavily developed for our tastes. The only big attraction is the beach.

It hasn't even been raining that much! Turned out to be a false warning. |

Bridge over Fancy Bluff Creek at Brunswick That's quite a "creek" to need a bridge like that! |
