Wayne always asked, Is it as good as I remember? or Am I just thinking it is good? This year we spent 6 nights camping on Jekyll Island. We woke up everyday before the sunrise to get to the beach to photograph dead trees. Each morning was different. Thankfully we only had 1 bad morning with bugs. The wind then kicked in and it kept the bugs away for the remainder of the week. We came prepared this trip with filters and I had knee high boots so my feet would not get wet and cold from the water. During the day we explored the island on bikes. We thought we had seen everything on the island over our past 2 trips but we found new trails to explore and new places to rest for a cocktail. All in all the week was fantastic.
