The breakfast bar at our hotel had some amusing signs.
It was a breezy 64° when we left this morning and we
definitely wore our long pants. This day reminded us of how most of the January
days were in Fort Myers this year.
We spent some time at J. E. Gregory Park in Richmond Hills,
Georgia. The park is situated along the Ogeechee River where rice was grown in
the past. This activity peaked in 1860 when 1.8 million pounds were shipped from
plantations along the river. With a ready supply of slave labor no longer
available after the Civil War, along with a destructive series of hurricanes in
the 1880’s, rice cultivation ended there by 1900.
We walked almost a mile roundtrip looking for 3 geocaches.
The scenery was beautiful and we stopped so many times to admire it and to take
photos that it took us 1 ½ hours to finish.
A special cache that we found today was at a rest stop in
South Carolina. Liberty Gardens commemorates the September 11 tragedy and was
completed September 11, 2002. It honors those Americans who have perished in
acts of terrorism.
We are spending this night in Dunn, North Carolina. The
hotel has a nice carpet at the front door that makes us feel welcome.
