The Wild Horses of Cumberland Island National Seashore

We've seen the wild horses as we passed by on our Loop trip but never up close and personal.  So glad we were able to stop this time, what a beautiful national park with 36,000 acres of maritime forest, beach, lakes and marshes.  Unfortunately, the northern end of the island was closed to visitors for hunting of wild hogs & deer using primitive weapons only.  There was plenty to see on the southern tip, including wild horses, wild turkey and various ruins.   The armadillo eluded us this time but we'll find it next time!

With temps in high 80's the horses weren't too wild

Dungeness Ruins date back to 1884
