We left the Delaware Beach Campground about 9am. Our plan was to visit Ocean City, MD then stay at the Pocomoke River State Park. Ocean City was such a mess we didn't even stop. Solid condos & hotels. The ugliest resort town we've come across ed so far. Reminded us of Ft. Lauder dale. Instead of Pocomoke we decided to go visit the Assateague Island National Seashore located about 8 miles south of Ocean City, MD. What a great choice. We have a campsite backing right onto the dune line that separates the campground from the ocean. There is a dune crossover and Carol was able to ride her scooter to get a good view of the ocean. There are wild horses on the island. " They are descended from domesticated stock that was grazed on the island as early as the 17th century by Eastern Shore planters. These farmers grazed their horses and other livestock here to avoid the mainland taxes and fencing requirements. Only slightly smaller than other horses, these shaggy, sturdy animals are well adapted to their harsh seashore environment". The horses, as you can see from the picture, wander through the campground.
We're staying here until we head back to Alex's house on Thursday.
