Friday Fences - Cumberland Island


While looking through my Picasa files, which I still really don't know how to navigate my way around, I found some pictures of our trip to Cumberland Island. This was a few years ago, while we still lived in Georgia. The kids were so little.

This is a teency glimpse of the Recreation Building ruins.


The Dungeness Recreation Building, which once held an indoor swimming pool, squash court, gymnasium, billiard room and several large guestrooms, has since collapsed from years of neglect.

You can read more about the Carnegies and their life on Cumberland Island here.

Linking up with Friday Fences

Have a great weekend!

    1. when you take a picture from the "tray" then click "file" up along the top of your screen. it will allow you to save it where ever you want to. i don't understand the way the albums load to picasa...it's kind of a mess! you can also edit in picnik from picasa, but i've had some issues with that working once in a while.

  6. A glimpse of what must have been a very huge building to house all that.
    I like the fence!

    I agree about Picasso - not user friendly.

    I know what you mean about navigating thru Picasa, I still don't completely understand it either.
    I would imagine lots of ppl would be lost if they're changing the names of the hwys, that borders cruel & unusual punishment! LoL! =)
