Broadfield Plantation

Darien to Kingsland; 94km 117m vertical climb

The home of Boiled Peanuts
 Today was our last stage in Georgia under another cloudless sky and a bit warmer than yesterday. We were running close to the coast and had to cross a number of wide coastal inlets and rivers and about half involved sizeable bridges to climb over. It’s the only way we will get to do any hill climbing because the land is as flat as anything we have ever seen. Swampland, forested swampland and more swampland. There are not many places to stop at but we did find a petrol station/Mini Mart at a crossroads around midday and were able to sit down to a bit of lunch. Before we got up to leave the owner introduced himself and gave us a free sample of a typical southern snack, boiled peanuts done classic and Cajun style. They didn’t exactly knock our socks off but we think that, together with a beer, they have the potential to grow on us.    
A few miles later we arrived in Woodbine and saw an unusual For Sale sign. Probably not a business model that would last long in Europe, or would it?
