Day 26 of 365

Day 26 - January 26

Highway 17 crossing the Darien River

Darien is one of my favorite towns near Saint Simons. About 20 minutes to our north, it is a town that still relies on the seafood industry as most cities up the coast were at one point. They don't take shrimping season lightly and its the main source of income for a lot of its residents. It has held on to its small town charm and hasn't sold out to commercialization. It was originally the southernmost part of the British Empire as their outpost, Fort King George. The Fort is still open today as a National Park.
