The dog ones are huge, lol!<br /><br />I've never seen a crab (other than the one Emily dissected for science and it was already dead & preserved) except in photos. We have a dvd with a snippet of the crabs on Christmas Island. So fascinating to me...I'd love to see a living one someday.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123765093917478478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1004557704784686850.post-74647436106444655202009-06-03T15:58:07.818-04:002009-06-03T15:58:07.818-04:00Tammy: Thank you!

I had seen the raccoon the night before I took that picture, but those are pretty big dog paw prints and I never saw a large dog there.<br /><br />The only animal we've ever found on shore are those tiny crabs. There are thousands of them. <br /><br />St Johns River Fun Fact: Most of the giant prehistoric shark (Megalodon) jaws in our local natural history museum were found in the St. Johns River.Crescent Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021940730235818438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1004557704784686850.post-76859847618622960452009-06-03T15:55:50.417-04:002009-06-03T15:55:50.417-04:00What a great post...so much to see and learn.

I'm guessing crabs since you mentioned those.<br /><br />I must say, Crescent Moon, your blog is just a TREAT for me to visit.

I don't know how they all ended up on the beach. Other buildings have been built on the island over the years (many of those now gone as well), it's possible that later builders just dumped the bricks on the beach to get them out of the way.<br /> After the hotel burned, Fort George Island became the location of two private resorts, The Fort George Club and the Rebault. The remains of both clubs are now part of the National Park.The Rebault Club is still a beautiful building and can be rented for weddings and other special events. It also houses a museum. The Fort George Club's cottages are gone, but the main building is now used as the Park Rangers' offices and residence.Crescent Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021940730235818438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1004557704784686850.post-20368926680692841772009-06-03T05:21:41.038-04:002009-06-03T05:21:41.038-04:00It looks like the sea has come in quite a lot sinc...It looks like the sea has come in quite a lot since that hotel burned down.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167458171459084910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1004557704784686850.post-10110586824193521642009-06-03T01:01:06.039-04:002009-06-03T01:01:06.039-04:00That grand building didn't last very long!That grand building didn't last very long!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1004557704784686850.post-35788969379919148292009-06-02T23:16:59.310-04:002009-06-02T23:16:59.310-04:00I love learning about history.
