Waterfront View
This beach is beautiful everyday! and David is kind of cute, too:
October 17 to October 23
It has been so much fun to stay put and enjoy one place with our friends!
On Day 10, we dumped and got water, bought expensive bread and cheap beer (Yuengling), ate lunch then enjoyed the afternoon on the beach in our cabana watching anglers and pelicans fish (the pelicans did so much better!):
Happy Hour was at L&D’s where we watched some of the Jays game (which they lost). Cooler weather is expected tomorrow.
It was a really windy night, so Day 11 was cooler. We spent the morning inside reading then went on a beach walk where we were essentially the only ones out:
…except for some birds and the campground crab (there are tons of these holes everywhere on the beach and in the dunes). We did see dolphins, too, a little far out for pictures:
It was a quieter Happy Hour with L&D, and we decided to extend our stay another night.
Day 12 started breezy but it was another gorgeous day. We started with a beach walk during which David found two more pieces of beach glass (three total). These are rare finds here!
We took another ride into the village (15 km) and had another yummy lunch at Eduardo’s:
Linda, Denny, Ellie, Denny and I gathered in the dunes for our final beach visit of this trip. We then enjoyed a long, fun and yummy final Happy Hour!
We were sad to say goodbye on Day 13. We took our time packing up and getting as many of those little cockleburrs/prickers/sand spurs as we could out of our gear. We hugged goodbye and made plans for next year.
David and Patrick from the ferry crew chatted the whole way back to Hatteras (missing the Dolphins which I saw!), and we started the journey north. There are still a lot of dune repairs being made along Highway 12:
We got supplies drove a few hours, took the Chesapeake Tunnel and Bridge to the Virginia Welcome Centre where we stayed for the night.
Here’s the view from my chair:
It was another sunny morning on Day 14 as we travelled through Virginia. One house was flying the confederate flag, and the Dixie Smoke Shop (with a Confederate Flag Sign) on the Virginia/Maryland State Line says it’s “The End of the Real South” (the southward sign said “The Beginning…”).
We crossed the bridge into Assateague and were welcomed by our first wild horse:
We booked three nights (C39, $30 a night), took a 17.5 km bike ride, checked in with the much blownout beach from the storm:
…and saw a host of Herons and Egrets:
Here’s the view (of the campground deer) from my chair:
Day 15 was another sunny one, and we rode 19.5 km over the bridge and into the “closed for the season” store (rats, no ice cream). We did see a few horses (and a Black Rat Snake, but at least three of my besties are snake-a-phobes, so no pics):
After lunch, we rode some more (7.5 km) and saw a few more horses and birds.:
Here’s another view from my chair:
It was windy all night and on the morning of Day 16, so we hung out for the morning. We walked the beach some:
…and rode around looking for horses. As we stopped to chat with a couple from Alaska who had a cool kayak/bike rack on their similar RV, David’s bike actually was blown into the water! Crazy.
We’ve now packed up and are homeless for tomorrow, though we may snag a cancellation or go to the adjoining State Park.
Oh, and it’s time for a Cat’s Eye View:
