Fort Frederica and Southern Soul Barbeque

Today was overcast with temps in the mid 70's

We left around 1100 and headed  northeast to St Simons Island and Fort Frederica National Monument. The Info center has a nice film about the fort. Unfortunately due to time and a fire all that remains of the fort are foundations that have been uncovered through the years.  The NPS gives you a player that guides you through the ruins and provides a story on each ruin.  Here are some pictures from the site.

This is a map of the original fort

From the Fort we headed to Southern Soul Barbeque. They have been featured on "Triple D". Beryl had the pulled pork sandwich and FF,  I had the Southern soul sampler.  Pulled pork, ribs, Brunswick stew, soul slaw and bread.  We ate at one of tables outside

Southern Soul Barbecue

Southern Soul Sampler - you have a choice of 2 meats and a side

Pulled pork & ff
 Everything was good, but I don't think I would go out of my way to get there.  Sonny's BBQ is just as good.

We got back to the MH a little before 1600.  BJ got his walk, tanks were dumped and we chilled out.  This tourist thing is tiring. We are going to stay here another day and head down the road on Thursday.

Thats all for today

Thought For The Day – By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day
