The
Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers |
| The island measures about 7 miles long by 1.5 miles wide, has 8 miles of wide flat beaches and lots of tidal marshlands. | |
| Jekyll Island is an island off the coast of the U.S. State of Georgia, in Glynn County, midway between Savannah, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida. It is one of the Sea Islands and one of the Golden Isles of Georgia. The city of Brunswick, Georgia, the Marshes of Glynn, and several other islands, including the larger St. Simons Island, are nearby. Its beaches are frequented by vacationers and guided tours of the Landmark Historic District are available. Bike trails, walks along the beaches and sandbars, and Summer Waves, a water park, are a few of the many things vacationers can do. The district consists of a number of buildings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The island is also full of wildlife, consisting of many different mammals and reptiles living in the island's inland marshes. | |

The entry road to Jekyll Island. The first sign the two RV Gypsies saw said that there is no gas on the island. In 2010 it cost the two RV Gypsies $5 daily to enter Jekyll Island. Even residents have to buy an annual pass.It cost $6 in 2014 when the two RV Gypsies returned. |

| A six-mile causeway separates Jekyll from the mainland and the City of Brunswick. | |

View from the fishing
pier at Jekyll Island |
|
 |
 |
| The two RV Gypsies took a walk along the beach just past the fishing pier and past the bend seen in the above photo. Lee Duquette put on Karen Duquette's hat just to be funny. | |

flying around this fishing ship |
|
 |
 |
| It was a very windy (but hot) on the beach - the white streaks seen in the photo below are actually sand drifts blowing in the faces of the two RV Gypsies. The ocean made a water path in the sand. | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Lee Duquette found a dead horseshoe crab in the sand - What kind of faces or images do you imagine you see in the underside (legs) of the horseshoe crab? | |
 |
 |
Below: It was very windy
on the beach and Karen Duquette could not even see where she was walking
because her hair kept blowing in front of her face. |
|

 |
Below: Karen Duquette
tried to get the hair out of her face and Lee Duquette photographed
her WILD shadow. |

| Several photos were taken from this beach of the St. Simons Lighthouse and those photos can be reached from the sub-menu at the bottom of this page. | |

 |
|
Below: The
two RV Gypsies explored a small path from the road. There are 20 miles
of hiking trails on Jekyll Island. The two RV Gypsies were just on a
one minute path to the waterway, not one of the hiking trails. Spanish
moss covered live oak trees throughout the island. |
|
 |
 |
| The two RV Gypsies got a glimpse of the lighthouse on St. Simons Island - scroll down for a link to those photos. | Karen Duquette enjoyed the view |
 |
 |
Below: The two RV Gypsies
noticed that the trees are all leaning away from the ocean. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies
turned around and the view was very different. |
