Fort Federick.....Brunswick, Georgia

We have been sort of lollygagging down the East Coast seeing some things that I have seen before in my travels and finding new places to explore and share with Marge. One area is the Brunswick Georgia area with Jekyll and Sea Island. This beautiful coastal area with the wide open expanses of marsh and tidal flats is really something to see. Between the flats and on higher ground the huge Live Oak trees (some of which are hundreds of years old) it is the picture of the South.
One we stopped at on St Simons is Fort Federicka which was a community that was established in the early 1700's. The first picture below is of the grounds outside the fort with the probably 300 year old Oaks

The picture below is of the smallish fort itself looking out over the tidal flats and river.
Can you imagine a ship coming around the bend in the river in your sights?

And again the beautiful old Live Oak trees.
