Day trip to Cumberland Island Georgia
Welcome to MooMoo Math and Science and my trip to Cumberland Island.
Cumberland Island, Georgia, is the largest of the Sea Islands of the southeastern United States
The island is 17.5 miles long and can be reached by ferry from Saint Marys Georgia.
The ferry ride was around forty minutes and the staff was nice and friendly.
The island has very limited amenities which include a small welcome center, restrooms, and water. No restaurants, paved roads, or lodging.
Upon arrival, we got on our bikes and went exploring on the main road.
There is a 4-mile hike you can take from the welcome which takes you to a small museum and the estate of the Carnegie called Dungeness. First built in 1884, the Dungeness Mansion was intended as a winter home for Thomas Carnegiehis wife Lucy, and their 9 offspring
We road our bikes on the main road which is a one-lane sandy road to Dungeness. At Dungeness, we encountered our first wild horses. They wander all around the island and pretty much keep to themselves.
We next made our way to the beach and ate lunch near the beach. The beach reminds you what Hilton Head looked like before tourists arrived. It was very relaxing.
After lunch, we were fueled up and ready for a 7-mile ride to the Plum Orchard mansion. This 22,000 square foot mansion was built by George Carnegie in 1898. The park service runs free tours of the mansion and I found it very interesting.
It was getting late so it was back to the ferry for the ride home. Camping is allowed on the island but we just took a day trip.
When we got back to the ferry we spotted a bald eagle which was a first for me. The day on the island was both fun, relaxing, and very interesting.

Cumberland Island, Georgia Tour
In episode 007 of I Know Jax we visit the barrier island and National Seashore Cumberland Island, located near St. Marys, Georgia on the coast.
Cumberland Island contains four major historic districts and 87 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The island is also an important habitat for a number of important bird species including shore birds such as American Oyster catchers, Least Terns, and Wilson's Plovers. The island is an important stopover point for migrating birds on the transatlantic migratory flyway. Beside the beautiful nature and the majestic live oaks, Cumberland Island is probably most known around the world for the Kennedy wedding.
The First African Baptist Church was established in 1893 and then rebuilt in the 1930's. This church was the site of the September 1996 wedding of John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
Cumberland Island can be reached by ferry from St. Marys, GA. It's advisable to call ahead and book tickets, sometimes the ferry can be crowded. For an enjoyable visit prepare yourself by wearing comfortable walking shoes, packing a lunch, snacks, and drinking water, bring bug repellent, wear sunscreen and finally pace yourself, especially in the summer heat. There is camping on the island and there is an inn.
In our tour of Cumberland Island we visit Plum Orchard. The island is also famous for its wild horses that roam the island. You can see them around the Dungeness ruin or on the beach.
Cumberland Island is well worth a visit. It's a unique place where time has almost stood still for centuries. You really get a feel for what this area looked like when the first settlers arrived by visiting Cumberland.

Backpacking on Cumberland Island in Georgia
Wherein we take a ferry to an island, hike a ton of miles with our awesome kids. And explore both ruined and restored mansions.
Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia | Camping / Hiking Trip
This is a weekend trip to Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia. We took a ferry from Saint Mary's Georgia to the Sea Camp dock and hiked 5.5 miles to the Hickory Hill Campsite.
On the second day, we hiked out to the beach. We were alone, it was incredible. Being that we had to hike 5.5 miles from the dock, there was no one for miles and had the entire beach to ourselves. Found some incredible shells and made memories to last a lifetime. We then left the beach and headed to Plum Orchard. And finally headed back to the campsite.
On the last day we woke up early to make the 10:15 ferry back to mainland. On the way back, we saw some horses on the trail, walked the beach about 5 miles back and stopped to watch the sunrise from the Atlantic Ocean.
We would all highly recommend a stay here at one of the wilderness campsites, such as Hickory Hill, Yankee Paradise, or Brickhill Bluff.

Cumberland Island Backpacking Trip 2016
We enjoyed three days and two nights of backpacking on Cumberland Island, 24 miles. We explored Dungeness ruins and toured the Plum Orchard Mansion, which is now a museum. We saw tons of wildlife, mainly wild horses, and beautiful sunsets. It was an amazing trip, to say the least.

After taking the ferry, hiking to Stafford Beach campground and setting camp, we decided to explore a little. We headed to Stafford beach and were encountered by some wild horses enjoying the cool ocean breeze.
On Day 2 we plan to hike up to Plum Orchard (Built in 1898 by Lucy Carnegie) and then hike across the Cumberland Island on the Duck House trail with a brief stop on the primitive camping site, Yankee Paradise, before heading back to our campsite in Stafford Beach.
Cumberland Island: Where nature feels large
A gem off the coast of Georgia, Cumberland Island is a sliver of land not quite 20 miles long. Martha Teichner visits this wild and magical place of spectacular beauty, where nature feels large and people small - and that's how the island's few residents like it.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Awesome acreage that is off grid with no restrictions.
This fantastic mountaintop retreat, with panoramic views all the way to AR, is located between Panola & Red Oak with a Red Oak emergency address. Mountain road is maintained by the gas company but you will still need a pick-up truck to access comfortably. The road leads to this gated, 19.59 ac peaceful escape with miles of trails and gas lease roads to explore and sight see from your Jeep, ATV, UTV or favorite trail horse. There is plenty of cleared area around the cabin and also a small orchard consisting of apple, peach, pear, plum, fig and nectarine trees. You will also enjoy seasonal wild grapes, elderberries and blackberries. The property has a small pond that needs the berms restructured. There is a fire pit with plenty of kindling and stacked, seasoned hickory & oak firewood to enjoy your evenings under the stars. Abundant wildlife includes deer, turkey, rabbit & hog.
The 16’ x 40’ cabin (built in 2013) with metal roof is not finished out on the inside so you have the opportunity to make this your own ‘tiny house’ getaway. There is a five year warranty on structure. The front porch offers stunning sunrise views to enjoy your morning coffee. The Derskin cabin has double paned windows on 3 sides and one on each end of the split loft for great breezes and front and back door access. Loft space adds additional square footage for storage and kids sleeping area.
There is a water well that does not have a pump but water can be pulled up. There are five 270 gal cistern tanks plumbed for water collection but need some levelling work. Also included is an old hunting trailer used for storage which has a propane powered stove/oven, a Stronghold structure that provides outhouse privacy and a 6’x10’ dog kennel.
Current owners were collecting various items for finish out, i.e, dorm size electric refrigerator & microwave, toilet, shower stall, bath sink, wood burning stove, storage racks.

Kayaking to Cumberland Island
In preparation for our trip to the Everglades later that Spring, we drove from Atlanta to St. Mary's and paddled to Cumberland Island from Crooked State Park. It was a 13-mile paddle to the backcountry camp site on the Northern end of the Island, the wildlife was amazing!
Cumberland Island In Time
The trailer for the full-length film.
“CUMBERLAND: Island In Time” is a documentary that tells the rich history of this unique and wild place -- from it's earliest beginnings to its establishment as a National Seashore.
Located just off the East Coast of the United States yet, a million miles away, Cumberland has been a haven for pirates, prisoners, and Presidents. Perhaps best known as the secluded paradise where John F. Kennedy and Caroline Bessette were married, the island has been home to Nathaniel Greene and the wealthy Carnegie family.
The film features rare never-before-seen footage from Carnegie family home movies and many unpublished archival photographs. It also includes footage shot on the island over a four-year period that shows Cumberland in its wild and untamed splendor, throughout the four seasons.

Zabette Act 3
ZABETTE: Act III
Music by Curtis Bryant, Libretto by Mary R. Bullard
- World premiere performance April 29, 1999, Rialto Theater, Georgia State University School of Music, directed by W. Dwight Coleman, The University Orchestra, conducted by Mark W. Street.
Act III of ZABETTE takes place twenty-seven years later during the post-Civil War Reconstruction (1867). In the interim period, Stafford realized that Madame Bernardey's impending death imperiled Zabette's legal status, so he sent her to join her children in Connecticut where she spent the next fourteen years. Although he visited them on occasion, Stafford stayed in Georgia to run his plantation. She has now returned with their three grown daughters, who have come to visit.
The scene opens near the old home place on the Plum Orchard property where Zabette grew up. The freedmen sing and dance a traditional sea island ring shout Good time, a good time. We gonna have a time as they prepare their campfires for night (lead tenor Timothy Harper). Though they are free now, their lives are little improved. As they doze off, Zabette (soprano Laura English-Robinson) arrives. Invigorated by the fresh sea air and the sounds of nature, she sings The Joy of Coming Home Again. A whip-poor-will punctuates her aria. The family graveyard is in view with the adjacent crypts of her grandmother Marguerite Élisabeth Bernardey and her father Pierre Bernardey. Zabette examines the inscription and notes that she shares her middle name. In a pensive aria, You Came from Paris, she ponders with mixed emotion her relation to the woman who was her protector, her teacher, but also her owner.
Robert Stafford (baritone Dennis Jesse) enters, and seeing Zabette examining the grave, points out that someone has been decorating it with trinkets. He states that he may have to move it. He then asks about their son Armand who died fighting in the Union Army. She reaches out to hold his hand, but he recoils. The two then quietly reminisce about their time together on their sunlit island and almost come to embrace one another when suddenly the three grown daughters enter along with a granddaughter, who has curly blonde hair. In a trio (sopranos Lori Christian, Liza Forrester, and mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Jackson), the young women thank their papa for the stipend he has given them and ask if they might inherit some land. Mr. Letterlaw (bass Uzee Brown) suddenly appears on stage to point out that bastards have no inheritable blood. Stafford admonishes his daughters: I tell you what you knew before, you're illegitimate. Incensed, Addie and Ellen run over to their mother and rebuke her for having been a slave, then leave in a huff. But Mary Elizabeth stays on with her little daughter to comfort Zabette. They, too, must return to Connecticut. Zabette plans to remain on Cumberland Island and hopes that she and Robert might be able to resume their lives together at Planters House. He informs Zabette that he can give her a cabin on the homestead since he owns Plum Orchard now. Informing her that he now has a new family with two children by Mary Adelaide, a former slave, Zabette is stunned. Mr. Letterlaw sings sardonically that this is what they get for failing to observe the law. He exits guffawing. Repudiated by all, Zabette ponders what she must do now when her mother, Marie-Jeanne (soprano Jeanné Brown), enters. Now half mad but still a practitioner of vodun, she convinces Zabette that they must rebury her grandmother's remains beneath her cabin in order to create a spell of protection. With the assistance of her half-brother Geechee Jack they exhume the corpse and bury it beneath her cabin floor.
Her earthly remains shall stay with you.
We shall bury her beneath the hearth
where her bones forever will dwell
to guard you from ruinous Hell!
The freedmen join in a chorus Those who are dead are never gone. Exhausted and alone, no longer sure of her own identity, Zabette collapses to the ground. The freedmen gather around and remind her that she is one of them and they still need her as their nurse. She rises slowly. By bestowing love freely and absolutely, Zabette finds that she can stand on her own two feet. Joining her fellow islanders in a sea island ring shout,
My master is gone, what happens to me?
My master is gone, what happens to we?
Zabette comes to accept our common humanity. Seeing Mr. Letter for the first time, she banishes him from her life in triumph.
