1. Callahan, Florida—this sleepy, quiet town just south of the Georgia border is the closest ham radio license testing site. Why Chris wants a ham radio license is another question, but it was green and breezy and silent.
2. Kings Bay Naval Base—we crossed the border to check out this base, rumored to be pretty but really quite dull. All the interesting parts are blocked off.

4. Lunch at Trolley’s (109 W Saint Marys St, St Marys, GA, 912.882.1525) on the wide veranda of the second floor overlooking the St. Mary River. I had a yummy crab cake burger, beer-battered fries and a Landshark. Chris had iced tea, a mediocre burger and somewhat raw fries, so he ate mine. We spread our free Georgia map (visitors center!) out on the table and planned our next destination. Hee hee, that’s so us.


7. Drove back to Jax through the downpour.


“Sorry, sir; it is impossible.”
“That seems to be your favorite word around here,” said the American hero.
And of course, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMON! This whole trip was in honor of you (sort of). At lunch we saw St. Simons on the map, called and sang you happy birthday, then headed north to find it!
