There's a second mark on the rock at Pass-a-Grille, this one a bit more recent and detailed.
Here's a detail view of the George T. Ward Poppas Point marker in Pass-a-Grille. I can't find any detail on either Ward or Poppas Point online. Ironically, there seems to be no permanent reference to Poppas Point or George T. Ward. Sort of weird, actually.
At first I was a bit frustrated with this couple because I couldn't get them out of the frame as I tried to snap a pic of this marker. Then I realized how much I liked the composition.
Some of the rocks on the pier have carvings in them. You couldn't miss the giant PAM carved into this one. Made me think of our Pam, of course, so I snapped a pic and sent it to her.
I found a perfect sand dollar–no chips or anything. Unfortunately, I put it in my pocket and forgot about it. It was crushed to bits by the time I got home, maybe the seatbelt in the car or something. Lesson learned for the next time I find one.
After breakfast at the Sea Horse in Pass-a-Grille, we went shelling on the beach for a bit.
