Just spent the last 10 nights camping at Assateague Island!! It was excellent! We spent 4 nights at the State Park and 6 nights at the National park. Both were excellent. We spent 4 of the 6 nights at an ocean sid site and 2nights in a bay side site. Great weather for hiking and fishing !!
I highly recommend you give it a try if you get the chance. Lots of pictures of the ponies! ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Is this located in Vermont from where you reside Leo? Have never been 'east' that far (most easterly I have been is Pennsylvania). ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

Of course Leo can answer but I've camped there too, pre-Pod. It's right on the border of Virginia and Maryland, as far east as you can go at that latitude. Chincoteague is just south and is famous for its wild ponies. TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

Hey Jato,
It is about 625 mile south east of Vermont. It is a true piece of heaven!! We spent 10 days there and am now down on Chincoteague Island. Figure we would do a run to test out our new camper. Having a blast!! ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Hay Leo! Great start with your new camper!! We were down Assateague last November. Place has gotten real popular past year. Just got back from Trap Pond State Park - about 20 miles due west of Bethany Beach, DE. Really great state park on the edge of a 100 acre bald cypress pond. Caught one baby bass and a (ughhh!) catfish. Kayaking/biking was fantastic. Most amazing kayak launcher I've ever seen!

Hey Leo! Forgot to mention/ask. Tonight is last chance launch of Black Brant XII rocket @ Wallops. You should have a great view from Chincoteague and a great light show to the south. Supposed to look like aurora borealis. https://twitter.com/NASA_Wallops - https://twitter.com/NASA_Wallops fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |
