I-Jekyll Island Isiqhingi Esicacile Esiqhingini saseGeorgia
I-Jekyll Island isuke kunxweme eliseningizimu-ntshonalanga Georgia. Lesi siqhingi segolide, esinye sezintambo zeziqhingi ezisuka eFlorida emngceleni kuze kube ogwini lwaseGeorgia naseNingizimu Carolina, iyindawo ekhangayo yokubiza imikhumbi encane yokuhamba ngemikhumbi ehamba nge-Intracoastal Waterway efana ne-American Cruise Lines noma kulabo abahamba phambili ukushayela ukushayela eNingizimu ejulile. Ukuvakashela indawo efanayo iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 kunginike ithuba lokuhlola konke okufanele ukwenze futhi ubone kuJekyll Island.
Ngizizwa sengathi izinkumbulo zami ze-Jekyll zifana nenye yalezi zinkhamera eziphelelwa yisikhathi ezithatha isithombe ngezikhathi ezithile, izithombe zami kuphela zonyaka ngaphandle! Ngokungafani neziqhingi eziningi ezisogwini eziye zagcwala futhi zithuthuka ngokweqile, uJekyll empeleni uphuthukisiwe ngobudala ngenxa yomsebenzi onzima kahulumeni waseGeorgia nabanye.
Lesi siqhingi sinamaphiko aphilileyo, ama-moss aseSpanish, nesigqubu. I-Criss-ewela lesi siqhingi ingamakhilomitha angaba ngu-20 ngebhayisikili nasemigwaqweni yokuhamba. Ungahlala uthola indawo enokuthula ebhishi. Bambalwa bendawo abafika kuJekyll kusuka eBrunswick eseduze ngenxa yokukhokha "yokupaka" ekhokhiswa kuzo zonke izimoto ezingena esiqhingini. Kukhona izakhamuzi zonyaka wonke, namahhotela ambalwa ogwini. Akuyona neze indawo yokuvakashela uma ufuna ebusukulife!
Eminye imigwaqo emincane yemikhumbi ivakashela iJekyll Island njengechweba lokubiza. Lezi zithuthi ziphakathi nonyaka ekwindla noma entwasahlobo ehamba nge-Intracoastal Waterway.
Njengoba imikhumbi eminingi ejwayelekile iqala ukusuka eJacksonville noma iPort Canaveral, eFlorida, iJekyll iyindawo enhle yokuyeka usuku oluya endleleni yakho noma kusukela ekuhambeni kwakho.
Umlando we-Jekyll Island
UJekyll unomlando othakazelisayo kusukela ekupheleni kwekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye. Lesi siqhingi sathengwa kuJohn Eugene duBignon ngo-1886 nge $ 125,000 ngabanye abantu abacebile kakhulu eMelika njengendawo yokuzizingela.
Umndeni wakubo wawunesiqhingi kusukela ngo-1800. Amagama wabanikazi ahlonishwa kakhulu emiphakathini yomlando, futhi ahlanganisa uJP Morgan, uJoseph Pulitzer, Marshall Field, uJohn J. Hill, u-Everett Macy, uWilliam Rockefeller, uCornelius Vanderbilt noRichard Teller Crane . Lesi siqhingi sasizibonga ngokuba "ukuhlukaniswa okuhle kakhulu".
Amalungu eklabhu akhiphe umklami uCharles A. Alexander ukwakha nokwakha ikamelo elingu-60 Clubhouse. I-Clubhouse isiphelile ngoNovemba 1, 1887, ngenkathi yokuqala esemthethweni kusukela ngoJanuwari, ngo-1888. Ngo-1901, isihlomelo esihlanganisiwe sakhiwe ukubhekana nezidingo zokwandisa kwamalungu. Umhlangano wamalungu, kuhlanganise noJP Morgan noWilliam Rockefeller, wakha isakhiwo sezakhiwo eziyisithupha ngo-1896 abaqamba ngokuthi uSans Souci - ama-condominiums wokuqala!
Ngokuvamile abanikazi babechitha izinyanga ezimbalwa zasebusika eJekyll Island, befika nge-yacht bevela eNew York. (Khumbula, lokhu kwakungaphambi kokuba iFlorida isungulwe noma isimo somoya sakhiwe.) IJekyll Wharf lapho babophe khona ama-yachts abo asetshenziselwa abagibeli, abagibeli kanye nemikhumbi encane yokuhamba ngemikhumbi namuhla. Nakuba iJekyll yayiyi-resort yokuzingela, ngokuqinisekile akuzange kubonakale sengathi i-hunting noma ikamu lokudoba engake ngilithola nge-About fishing guide!
Phakathi kuka-1886 no-1928, abanikazi bakha "ama-cottages" eceleni kolwandle olusesiqhingini lapho bezovikelwa khona olwandle. Eziningi zalezi zindlu ezinhle (izindlu) zibuyiselwe noma njengamanje umsebenzi uqhubeka. I-"cottage" enkulu kunazo zonke izinyawo ezingu-8,000. I-Jekyll Island Clubhouse manje ihhotela lothando lwama-Victorian.
Kuwo wonke umlando weClub, kunezinsiza eziningi zokuzilibazisa zanezelwa. Igoli lokuqala legalofu lafakwa ngo-1898, kanti ezinye ezimbili zenziwa ngo-1909. I-marina yokuphatha ama-yachts, ichibi lokubhukuda, izinkundla ze-tennis, i-bocci, i-croquet nezinye izikhungo zokuzilibazisa nazo zitholakalayo ukusiza amalungu ngesikhathi sokuchitha isikhathi isiqhingi.
Lapho kuqala ukuKhulelwa Kokukhulu, amalungu eJekyll Island Club ahlukumezekile nesiqhingi. Baqala ukuya ezindaweni ze-Europe nakwezinye izindawo zokuzijabulisa kwabo.
Ngemva kwenkathi ka-1942, uhulumeni wase-US wabuza amalungu ukuthi angasebenzisi lesi siqhingi isikhathi seMpi Yezwe II ngenxa yokukhathazeka kokuphepha kwabanikazi abanamandla. Abazange babuyele emuva. Lesi siqhingi sathengiswa kuHulumeni waseGeorgia ngo-1947. Uhulumeni wazama, kuze kube ngu-1972, ukuba isebenze iClubhouse, iSans Souci kanye neCroane Cottage njengeyinkimbinkimbi yehhotela, kodwa imizamo yayo ayiphumelelanga futhi izakhiwo zavalwa. Ngo-1978, isifunda samaqembu angama-acre angu-240 saqokwa njengeNational Historic Landmark. Ngo-1985, umsebenzi waqala ukubuyisela iClubhouse, Annex and Sans Souci ehhotela lokufundela emhlabeni kanye ne-resort ebizwa ngeJekyll Island Club Hotel. Imali eyizigidi ezingamaRandi ezingu-20 ezinkambisweni zokubuyiselwa sonke isetshenzisiwe ezakhiweni nasezikhaleni, ngoba le ndawo ingaqashwa kuphela. Ukunakekelwa okukhulu kwathathwa ukudala ukubuyiselwa okuthembekile ngenkathi kufaka izimo zanamuhla. I-Club iphinde iboniswe, futhi manje iyatholakala ukuze wonke umuntu ajabulele.
Namuhla i-National Historic Landmark yamahektare angu-240 ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi "i-Millionaire Village Village."

Ukuma kwelanga elilodwa kuJekyll Island kumele kufake ukuvakasha kwesifunda se-Historic, esibizwa nangokuthi iMillionaire's Village. Eziningi zalezi zindlu ezibuyiselwe zibuyiselwe, futhi noma ubani othakazeliswa yimizi yakudala uzothanda lolu hambo. Uhlelo lwamanje lokubuyiselwa lungomunye wemikhakha enkulu kunazo zonke eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States. Uma ufika ngomkhumbi omncane we-cruise kwi-Intracoastal Waterway, uzokwenzela i-Jekyll Island Wharf efanayo esetshenziselwa enye yezakhiwo ezithokozisa kakhulu ezakhiwe.
Kusuka ku-wharf, ungabona umzana obekwe ngaphambi kwakho. Ulwandle oluthakazelisayo lwotshani ngaphesheya komgwaqo wamanzi i-Georgia eyaziwa ngokuthi "ama-Marshes of Glynn" adumile ngumbongi uSydney Lanier.
Lezi zivakashi zigijima kusukela ngo-10: 00 kuya ku-3: 00 kusikhungo sokumukelwa sesiFunda sika-National Historic, esiseShell Road ukuhamba okufishane kusuka ku-wharf. Qiniseka ukuhlola izikhathi ngaphambi kokuba uhambe. Ukuvakasha kunikezwa nsuku zonke ngaphandle koKhisimusi noNyaka Wonyaka Omusha, futhi inombolo yocingo ngu-912-635-4036. Ngaphakathi kwesikhungo sokwamukela, ungase uqale ukubuka isethulo sevidiyo emaminithi angu-8 emlandweni we-Jekyll Island futhi uthole amathikithi okuvakasha kweTram esiFundazweni, Ukuvakasha kwe-tram okukulandayo kuzokuthatha eduze komzana, ubeke okungenani ama-cottages angu-4 abuyiselwe. Amashumi amathathu nantathu ezakhiweni zangempela namanje. Uhambo olulandelwayo luhlala cishe amaminithi angu-90, kodwa ungakwazi kalula ukusebenzisa amahora ambalwa noma isigamu ngosuku ukuhlola izitolo ezimbalwa nezindawo ezimbalwa hhayi ohambweni oluqondisiwe noma nje ukuzungeza umuzi ngezinyawo.
Ungase futhi wenze uhambo oluhamba ngezinyawo lokuhamba olwandle lwama-acre angu-240. Ukuhamba kukunika ithuba lokubona umzana ngokuhamba kancane okufanele uvakashelwe.
Isixwayiso esisodwa - ungakhohlwa ukusebenzisa i-bug spray ngenkathi uhamba ngesiqhingi! Ubumunyane bungaba buhle kakhulu eNingizimu Georgia! Ngemuva kokuthi uhambele ama-cottages nesifunda somlando, kusekhona isikhathi sokuqasha ibhayisikili noma ukuhlola lonke lesi siqhingi ngemoto noma ibhasi lokuvakasha.

Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili
Enye yezinto engizikhonzile ngasogwini oluseJekyll Island ngukugibela ibhayisikili. Isiqhingi sinendawo futhi sinamamitha angaphezu kwangu-20 ngokuhamba ngebhayisikili nasemigwaqeni yokuhamba. Kunezindawo eziningi zokuqasha amabhayisikili, futhi bonke bazohlinzeka ibalazwe lesi siqhingi ngezinyawo zebhayisikili ezimakwe. Ngombono wami, ukugibela okuhle kakhulu esiqhingini kuyisiyingi esikhulu esivumelwaneni esiqala eMillionaire's Village (esifundeni esingokomlando) sesiqhingi futhi siya enyakatho kuya emgwaqeni wokudoba eJekyll ekugcineni enyakatho kwesiqhingi.
Ukushiya i-pier, ugibela ngaphesheya kwebhuloho lonyawo, ngasemgwaqeni, bese uhamba endleleni yebhayisikili emgwaqweni wobhishi ukuya emhlanganweni wesigodi, uthathe ihlathini uphinde ugcine emuva esikhungweni se-Welcome Centre seMillionaire's Village. Loluhambo lokujikeleza lithatha okungenani amahora angu-2 okuhamba ngokuzenzekelayo, kodwa unganciphisa ngokunquma kulo lonke isiqhingi ngegolfu noma usebenzisa umgwaqo kunokuba uphenduke ibhayisikili.
Kunezinye izindlela eziningi ezithakazelisayo okufanele zithathe. Vele uthole ibalazwe uma uqasha ibhayisikili yakho bese uhlela umzila wakho. Ungakwazi ukugibela wonke uhambo oluzungeze lesi siqhingi, kodwa ekupheleni kweseningizimu kwesiqhingi esiseduze nepaki lamanzi akusizi, futhi kungashisa kakhulu! Ngivame ukuhamba-kelela lesi siqhingi, ngilandela emigwaqweni yebhayisikili noma emigwaqweni elinezithutha, ngiyeke ukuvame ukufuna ama-alligators emanzini.
Ukuhamba kwe-Beach
Ibhishi laseJekyll Island lisithulile futhi liphumele. Ungahamba amahora bese ubona abantu abambalwa kuphela.
Uma uya eningizimu ekupheleni kwesiqhingi eduze nendawo yePunipunni yepikiniki yokuhamba, ungase ungaboni omunye umuntu! Ngiyakuthanda ukuhamba ogwini eJekyll ngoba kungenalutho futhi kuthula. Ngenxa yokushisa, mina noRonnie sivame ukuhamba ebusuku ngoJuni ngesibani sethu sokukhanya esibomvu sibheke ama-turtle olwandle afike emanzini ukuze ayobeka amaqanda.
Lezi zidalwa ezigubungelayo zivikelwe, futhi kukhona i-turtle yolwandle esebenzayo ehamba ebusuku ebusuku emasondo abo amane. Asikaze sizimisele ukuhlala ubusuku bonke sifuna izivunguvungu, ngakho-ke singakaboni kuJekyll. Kodwa-ke, ngivame ukubona amathrekhi abo kusukela olwandle kuze kube sezintabeni zesihlabathi. Zihlukile kakhulu! I-turtle patrol izimpawu nezinombolo ngasinye esidlekeni, ixwayisa wonke umuntu ukuba ahlale kude. Labo abathanda izinhlanzi zasolwandle bazojabulela ukuvakashelwa ku-Georgia Sea Turtle Centre.
Uma ubheka ibalazwe, uzobona ukuthi iJekyll itholakala emlonyeni wemifula emibili emikhulu. Le milambo ilahla inhlabathi ecebile elwandle futhi ama-currents ayithwala ezindaweni ezithile ogwini. Ngenxa yalesi simo, ungase uthole indawo engasolwandle ehlanganiswe nodaka kunesihlabathi lapho uhamba ubhukuda emanzini aphansi. Isihlabathi esisogwini nasesigangeni esiphakeme ngumbala wegolide futhi uyathandeka kakhulu. Akuyena nje i-snowy white white powdery beach oyothola eGulf Coast. Kodwa-ke, ukucebeka kwodaka olwandle kusho ukuthi uzothola ama-dollar amaningi ase-sand kanye namanye amaqobelengwane amahle angene odakeni noma ahlanziwe ogwini. Kukhona futhi ibha enkulu yesihlabathi eselulela elwandle. Le ibha yesihlabathi iyamnandi ukuhlola ngesikhathi samanzi aphansi.
(Imbozwe emanzini aphezulu.)
I-Jekyll eyimvelo yohlu lwamanzi olwandle, i-beach kanye nezinyoni zezinyoni ezigxile ekuhambeni okuholwa yiCôteal Encounters Nature Centre. Ukuhamba komnyaka wonke kuhlelelwe futhi kuphele amahora angu-1 -2. Futhi banenkathi yokuhamba ebusuku ehamba ngesikhathi sehlobo sasehlobo.
Ezinye Imisebenzi kuJekyll
Uma ukuhamba ngebhayisikili noma ukuhamba nge-beach kukubi kakhulu, uJekyll unemigodi engu-63 yegolfu kanye nezinkantolo ezingu-13 ezomile ezomile zokubamba ubumba. Ukugibela amahhashi kuyatholakala endaweni yokudoba, futhi ukugibela olwandle nokuhamba ngomgwaqo kungenye indlela enhle yokuhlola le ndawo ethakazelisayo yaseGeorgia. Ipaki yamanzi angu-11 yamamitha iyamnandi kubo bonke ubudala. Ama-charters ase-Deep-sea nolwandle olwandle kanye nokuhamba ngemifula kuyatholakala e-Jekyll Harbour Marina eningizimu yendawo edolobheni lase-Intracoastal Waterway. Izinkambo zokubuka i-Dolphin nazo zithandwa kakhulu.
Sibheka amahlengethwa ahamba olwandle njalo cishe ekuseni uma ulwandle luzolile, ngakho-ke kumele lube nolwandle oluningi olwandle olucebile kuJekyll.
Ngokuba abathandi "bezenzo", i-Jekyll Island Theatre yangaphandle iqhuba umculo phakathi kukaJuni noJulayi. Abadlali abavela eValdosta State University benza i-cast, futhi amathikithi anengqondo. (Ungakhohlwa i-bug spray for theatre yangaphandle!) Esiqhingini esincane kangaka, kuningi okumelwe ukwenze! I-Jekyll Island, i-Georgia iyindawo enhle yokuchitha lolo suku ngenkathi uhamba nge-Intracoastal Waterway. Vakashela Isizinda Somlando futhi uhlole izindawo, imigwaqo yamabhishi, nezindawo zemifula. Njengoba i-Jekyll ingaphansi kukaHulumeni futhi umhlaba uphathwa, ngithemba ukuthi uzoqhubeka ukuguqula kangcono, noma ungashintshi nhlobo. Ngithemba ukuthi unethuba lokuvakashela lesi siqhingi. Ngicabanga ukuthi uzothola ukuthi usuku olulodwa alulutho ngokwanele!
