    VIDEO - Cumberland Island trip

    Just recently finished a trip to Cumberland Island in Georgia. It was a little unconventional for a backpacking trip, seeing as how the campgrounds had running (non potable) water, flushing toilets and a cold shower, but we managed. It was super hot and the heat zapped a lot of our energy so we didn't see everything on the island that we wanted to, but it was still a great time. One thing is for sure, I'm darn glad I sleep in a hammock. That was some of the best sleep I've had in a while. I even took a short nap on one evening and thought I had slept through the night. Anyways, I'm working on finishing up the other two days so they should be uploading soon. Enjoy!

    Interesting place...i didn't know about it.
    Funny as always!
    Loved the flute! Reminds me of Peru, we were just there about a month ago. Your guy there has the spirit of pachamama playing that flute!
    I enjoy working for my heat...it seems to make my food taste better. -Richard Proenneke

    It was great and there is more we could have explored. We didn't even go to the northern side of the island. I'd definitely like to go back when it's a little cooler.

    The heat was no joke but it was a real beautiful place.

    Definitely worth checking out if you can make it down that way. That was my dad playing the flute and it is one he made himself too. He's always up for a funny bit in the videos. There's a pretty good one in the next video. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the week.

    Not usually, but it was something my Dad wanted to carry because we were going to be at the same site for 2 nights. It was nice.
