Cumberland Island, Plum Orchard


Sunday we have pancakes for breakfast. Then went ashore and rode bikes 5 miles north to Plum Orchard from the Ranger Station. Another cloudy dreary day, but at least it is not suppose to rain.

Plum Orchard is one of the mansions built on Cumberland island for the children of the Carnegie family. The Park service restored it for tours at a cost of 15 million dollars. Interesting bit of history on how the Mega-wealthy lived at the turn of the century. The long bike ride on ill fitting bikes turned out not to be a lot of fun for Linda.
