Jekyll Harbor marina.

Jekyll Harbor marina.

A welcomed break.

On Driftwood Beach.

Where live oaks and pines...

...are consumed by the ocean.

Where massive root systems of upturned trees...

...rest quietly.

Where tangled trunks and limbs...

...show nature's power and the effects of erosion.

It is estimated that nearly 1000 feet...

...of Jekyll Island's beach has been lost since the early 1900's.

Our gang of intrepid cyclists and explorers.

...ike, Gene, Barbara, and Mary Jane.

Heike and Gene.

Sisters - Terri and Brenda.

Pat and Dick.

Fishing pier which extends into St. Simons Sound...

...and is the northernmost end of the island.

Leaving the pier.

Here is one of the locals...

...and an Inland salt marsh.

The road from the pier...

...to Riverview Drive...

...is lined with live oak trees...

...which hug the road.

The bike path winds along Riverview Drive...

...through Spanish Moss-covered live oak trees.

Horton House was built by Major William Horton...

...and served as a British Empire outpost...

...and was Horton's residence.

Horton was the first person to settle on the island.
