Eastern Shore Sept. 28


Day 5

Biked and hiked 7 miles

It was a hot night, and these campgrounds have no electricity or water, so we cope. Since it gets dark quickly and there's no chance for TV, we're actually in bed ridiculously early, so sleep a LOT! Kind of embarrassing.

More egrets and horses on our bike ride:






Then we had to move to another site for one more night (B32). No great salt marsh view, but a lot of new songbirds enjoying the wild grapes in our new backyard. We could now see and hear Mockingbirds and Catbirds:





More beach walking and horses in the parking lot. We saw these two (I called them Ned and Ted) bachelor horses looking like they were drinking from the water fountain:



One pooped directly on another horse's pile (a phenomenon we'd heard about...talk about accuracy and intent).

Then we saw them later drinking from different “water fountain”:



We followed a Sika Deer fawn and doe for a while:



Speaking of pooping horses, a mare walked right up to David, sniffed his bike tires, then pooped very near.

The park was starting to fill (Friday night), so we're glad to be moving on.

Here's the view of my chair:
