Assateague Island National Seashore, 10/7-10/2005

One of our new members needed a tent, so I drove in the rain down to Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland on Friday night. I arrived at 1:45 AM. Finding no one awake, I pitched my tent and went to sleep.

The next morning, Sule and Suzanne said hello. The weather was still raw, and the wind had damaged Suzanne’s tent during the night. Sule told me that he and his two passengers had slept in his car, including the person who needed a tent. I offered to put it up for her, but she declined. Sule and his passengers soon left to go back to N.Y. City.

The ocean and the beach were lovely as long as the wind didn’t sandblast your face. Suzanne put her feet in the water, and I saw a deer print in the sand. Because the predictions were for rain all weekend, we realized that our reinforcements were not going to arrive. So we packed up and drove home on Saturday afternoon.
