Before big blue box stores dotted our landscape and the Griswold family was looking for their theme park destination, Jekyll Island was the original Wally World. This cache is a shout out to the native inhabitants of Jekyll Island.
The Guale Indians (pronounced “wally”) of coastal Georgia were among the first indigenous people met by the Europeans exploring North of Mexico. Beginning in the 1560’s, the Guale were exposed to a long, intensive period of Spanish mission activity. Because the Spanish colonists were few in number, they employed the missions as an agency to occupy, hold, and settle the Georgia frontier.
The Guale villages existed south of Savannah in an area referred to by the Spanish as the "Province of Guale”. This region extended from St. Catherines Island at the north and continued south along the coast to St. Andrews’s Sound south of Jekyll Island.
