So there’s these little black bugs that dive bomb my skin and leave a small bite. The Camp-host said they weren’t black, or maybe they were. There are non-biting gnats she said. But, I said something’s biting me. She said, go to the store and buy some olive oil and coconut based “afro-sheen”hairspray. So we bought some and sprayed it on our bodies, sprayed the dogs and rushed indoors. Is the spray effective ? We don’t know yet. More later.
The place to visit in this area is Amelia Island and the town of Fernandina. https://www.visitflorida.com/en-us/cities/fernandina-beach.html
We took a river tour which took us near Cumberland Island. During the turn of a the previous century, the Carnegie family wanted to winter in Florida on Jekyll, about 20 miles north of Cumberland Island. A group of old money people had a 58 bedroom home at which they would spend many winters, 1900 -1920s. The Carnegie’s were upset when they were rebuffed and purchased so they Cumberland Island 20 miles south of Jekyll Island. They built a 59 bedroom home. Ms. Carnegie also purchased , in todays dollars, millions of dollars worth of race horses and turned them loose on the island.
