Assateague & Chincoteague Island

We headed from the outer banks to Virginia's outer pennisula and slept in a Wal-Mart parking lot!  So far, the store managers we have spoken with to ask for permission, are always glad to let us stay the night.  I guess they figure we will be spending money while we are there.  The last two overnight stops at Wal-Mart resulted in over $200 of groceries and miscellaneous items purchased by us, so I guess they know what they are doing!  We then spent the night at a campground called Tall Pines Harbour, which was a nice spot right on the Chesapeake Bay. We took the bikes over to Assateague Island to ride, first thing the next morning, and see the wild ponies.  Well, we found the ponies and the entire mosquito population of the Island!!!!!!  We were riding as fast as we could and they were still biting us!!!  Needless to say, we got some pics of the ponies; then high tailed it out of there!!  Today we said goodbye to Assateague/Chincoteague Island!
