Anastasia Island

We drove threw town it was all decorated very nicely people shopping at the local stores. My area I wanted to focus on was the old historic quarry which is an area full of woods, trails, dirt roads and its the main attraction on the island. The lighthouse nearby was all lit up with lights spinning.

We hiked on over to the trail head which had an old sign, history board, brochures etc a ranger pulled along side of us but did not say a word. I love this area cause nobody bothers you its all about ghost here.

We got onto the trail it meandered a little bit and eventually came right out into the quarry. Lots of coquina walls it was interesting. This is probably the only area in this investigation I felt watched nothing more then that though.

At times the trail split on off in different directions within the quarry but it basically led the same direction until we found a fence in the woods and I figured we would hike off the trail lol. I get at times really adventurous so this would be fun to see why a fence was here. An area was down so we followed it threw some scrubs came on out to this other trail and some structure being built.

Parts of the trail came close to the road but we were on an unusually high hill for FL and we walked across a few little wood bridges. I liked the hill we do not see many down here.
 
We came around the bend there was an old couple in the dark walking along they did not see us till we came out into a clearing where we found some old amphitheater and warehouse off into the woods with lots of trucks.
 
It appeared this open area was part of a campground we saw lit up trailers and smelled camp fires. We found a new trail being built and we found a private road which came out to this other dirt road. I took the darker way which was funny cause it led us to these streets and each street had a ton of campers so we knew at this point this part of the woods was the camping area.
 
Some guy was smoking with a fire going but it was quiet people minded there own. We had came back down the road and it ended up looping to a dead end so we followed it and we were back to the clearing. On our way there we heard some movement do not know what it was but it was heaving and moving around a lot in the woods sounded like possibly a deer.
 
We did take a different trail back which came out down the entrance road and to the gates. On our way back a dog at some house was really acting up. It was a peaceful investigation but Andrew and I had a nice long conversation about pirates on this island and yes this is a very historic island so to walk on it show the fans some pictures is a nice thing.
 
We then headed on off to Saint Augustine's Bridge Of Lions & Harbor.
