Lee
and Karen Duquette, |
| 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 that Lee and Karen Duquette saw said that there is NO gas on the island. In 2010 it cost $5 daily to enter Jekyll Island. Even residents have to buy an annual pass.It cost $6 in 2014 when Lee and Karen Duquette returned here again. Prices are always subject to change, and not controlled by the two RV Gypsies. |

Karen's hat kept blowing off of her and Lee chased down the hat and put it on his head as they took a walk along the beach just past the fishing pier and past the bend seen in the above photo. |

flying around a fishing ship. |

 |
| It was a very windy and 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: Lee and Karen Duquette 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: Lee and Karen
Duquette noticed that the trees were all leaning away from the ocean. |

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