September 23rd we left Albany, Georgia and headed east. Wayde wanted to go through Waycross, Georgia to see Miller's Cave (from the song). We found out there was no such place, much to Wayde's disappointment, but we did go to Obediah's Okefenok. It was about 88 degrees and humidity was about 85 so it was not a pleasant place. We saw snakes, bears, birds, foxes and ostriches in the "critter center" and an alligator was nudged into the water for our benefit. It was a little tacky but I decided if I never saw a swamp again it would be too soon. We were, however, glad we got off the main freeway. Traffic and drivers were crazy on the freeways and we enjoyed taking our time and enjoying the scenery and the small towns we passed through. We got our first sight of the Atlantic Ocean that afternoon. We then drove a few miles south to Jekyll Island. It was really beautiful and we hoped to stay there but the rooms were all booked. We drove north to Brunswick, Georgia and spent the night there. They have some gas stations there called "El Cheapo Fuel Stop". How can you not love it!
