Jekyll "Parking" fee changes

With the opening of the new toll booth, Jekyll has revised their rates for "parking" on the island. You can find the official notice here on the bottom of the page. The daily rate has increased 20% to $6.00. They have added an "oversize vehicle" rate which increases the cost to $10.00 per day, or a 100% increase. Annual decals are still $45 for cars and pickups.  An annual "oversize" rate is also available for $90, but I don't see winter guests paying this fee, since we don't leave and return often with our RVs.

Although the rates were set in July, there still seems to be some uncertainty about how they will be applied. As it says on the web page, the fees are charged "per entrance". However, be prepared to pay $10 for your "oversize" RV when you arrive in addition to your toad or tow vehicle charges. You will have to pay the $10 fee again if you take your RV off the island and return.

Change is inevitable.

Heart Rescue Video

Bob and Nancy Hoffman passed this link to me, I think it's worth sharing in the Jekyll Community. When I watched it, it gave me a better sens of what to expect if you encounter someone having a heart attack.
