Captain Joe’s Midway Highway 17 South – Midway, Georgia (912) 884-5118
We arrived there just after noon and they had almost a full house! That told me the locals know their food is good! And, you know what, they were right!
Have you ever started out with a great idea? Your plans are good, feasible, and can be accomplished with minimal effort and cost? We wanted to bring our Green Egg smoker with us while on the road, so we hauled it out of storage, (it had been there for 9 months while we traveled last year) I still can’t believe we went so long without firing up the smoker! So, anyway, we carefully placed it on our new cargo hauler and we were on our way! Once you’ve eaten food from the Green Egg, you’ll understand why we wanted to travel with our Egg!

Well, back to the story. Who would have thought hitting a railroad track would cause as much damage as it did. But, apparently we had rust on the inside of the bumper and the constant bouncing on the road, pot holes, and railroad tracks, we ended up with severe cracking in the metal beams that the hitch is attached tool! Luckily no damage to the Egg! By now, we had driven to far to turn back. So, we just disassembled the hauler, put the Egg on it’s side and placed it under the table in the camper! It’s really not that bad to have a Green Egg smoker at your feet!
Leaving Anastasia SP, head into St. Augustine and turn right at the foot of the bridge. Follow South Castillo Dr. around the fort and turn left at West Castillo Dr. At the end of the street, US 1, turn right.
Proceed northward. US 1 is a good road up in these parts with few traffic lights and little traffic. Just past Bayard turn right on the I 295 / CR 9A bypass around Jacksonville. Again, a good smooth road with very little traffic at mid-day.
An alternate is to go up A1A and take the Mayport Ferry, then continue up A1A through Amelia Island; this time we weren’t planning to stop at Little Talbot SP, Fort Clinch or anywhere on Amelia Island so it would’ve been fiddling around for several hours with town traffic for no real purpose.
After about 20 miles or so turn right on US 17. Smooth road, no traffic. After another 20 miles or so turn right directly onto I 95; this a short jog that dumps us off at the front gate of the Kings Bay sub base and on the road straight to Crooked River SP. From I 95 take the exit to St. Marys Rd. and follow the small brown signs to the park. You basically go to the sub base gate and hang a left.
