Started off the day spending the morning at the Sea Turtle Rehabilitation and Education Center on Jekyll Island. A wonderful facility started by Dr. Terry Norton, DVM, who also happens to be an adjunct faculty member at Clemson. The Center takes in sea turtles injured by boat props or have been “cold shocked” similar to hypothermia in people. Staff are wonderful and also provide work opportunities for Americorp students. We’ve had several Clemson students work here in the past. Had lunch at Sunshine Cafe, I had a shrimp poboy and Tina had a shrimp platter. Best shrimp we’ve had in a while! Then spent the afternoon hiking and exploring the historic William Horton homesite built in 1736. Horton was a trusted officer of James Oglethorpe, founder of Georgia. Weather was been prefect, however, this evening under a tornado warning as the front that has hit most of the Southeast hits here in about an hour. The RV is parked under a huge live oak draped in Spanish moss so hopefully the limbs will withstand the high winds and rain expected tonight. 😳 Tomorrow morning headed to St. Augustine, FL.
