Assateague Ponies
November 2, 2007
We woke to a view of the Ocean City Expressway; it was already mid morning and clouds were moving in. Will had gotten up at 4am and returned to bed because it was too cold; Kathy go up at 9am and took a little walk about. Will was getting up when she got back. We made some coffee and drove over to Ocean City across Big Assawoman Bay.
The Golden Beach Condo in Ocean City was where we spent a week a two years ago and where we parked today. We walked along the boardwalk peeking in the few shops still open. Then we walked back butting into the headwinds along the beach. The waves were roiling. Tropical storm Noel is heading toward north pushing storm clouds our way.
Assateague State Park, and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and National Seashore, is a barrier island built by sand that persistent waves have raised from the ocean’s gently sloping floor. We did the drive through, saw some LBBs(little brown birds), a Great Blue Heron, gulls and a Bald Eagle. Twenty-three of the thirty wild horses were spotted along our drive and with several whitetail does with fawns, and four little Asian Elks.
