Hi, follow me, I'll show you some of this beautiful island
We walked from the docks to Hog Hammock Community. That is the only town that is on the island. There are only 70 residents on the Island now.
We rented bicycles from the one place on the island that rents rooms and bicycles owned by Ceaser and Nancy Banks. It is a nice little place. We rode bikes all over the island all day. You can hardly see me in this picture, but I am there with my rented bicyle under that huge tree.
I decided to take this cat walk out through the marsh to the water. It was quite a walk on those little planks. These pictures do not show how pretty or interesting the marsh is. It is full of beautiful birds.
See how far out I walked on those flimsy little boards? That dot out there is me! Joe didn't care to join me for this little walk!
There have been several presidents and many interesting people that have visited this island. This is the airport that they flew into. Joe wanted this picture. He said he could almost see the excitement and commotion that must have gone on when they arrived. President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge visited during Christmas of 1928. President and Mrs. Herbert Hoover visited in 1932. Charles Lindbergh landed his plane here February 1929. President Jimmy Carter, and his family visited in 1979.
