Saturday afternoon we tried to hit the inlet, but the traffic was so bad you couldn't get there, so we took a bread from the cars, had lunch and hit Assateague Island hoping to see some wild ponies. Good thing I brought my long lens. I need a longer one too.

Trudi, this is the area that was blocked off when we went. It's really small, but really nice in there. There are boardwalks that are built above the marsh for observation / trail walking etc. The one I took the photos off of had an offshoot ramp to a small beach.

Those tiny specks is a small herd grazing in the marsh grass:

   

And we saw some horseshoe crabs doing the nasty:

   

And a blue heron:

   

And a crab way down in the oyster bed.
I was tempted to climb down and grab some lunch!
Click this one to see it in the water.

   

Came back later after lunch and walked on the boardwalk for a bit and saw the pervert store where adults ride kids.

   

The boardwalk and lower OCMD is not the freak show Seaside, NJ is. People here are polite and everything is CLEAN. No schmutz and gunk stuck on things and the bathrooms are spotless. The souvenirs and clothing shops carry the exact same crap only it says Ocean City on them and not NJ. Oy.

More coming!
