Finished up at Assateague Island National SeaShore

On Friday June 30th we finished up our stay at Assateague Island National SeaShore. We where camping hosting there for the month of June. Again this year we had a great time. The weather was a little rainy and windy for the first week are so but after that we had great weather and lots of sun. For those of you that have never been to Assateague Island there is a State and National Park. The State Park does have one loop ( Loop H ) that does have electric hook-ups but have to book them almost a year in advance because they go fast. The National Park does not offer any hook-ups but we feel the sites are a little bigger and offer a little more privacy.The National Park also has beach access to the bay side of the Island with a picnic area, park store and kayak and canoe rentals.


This was the view from our site and just over the dunes is the Atlantic Ocean. It was good sleeping at night with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and the ocean breeze blowing off the water. The ponies use this area to feed and just hang out a lot of the time so we got to see them a lot.


The little one the right was just born in April and was seen a lot in the Main North Beach Parking lot sometimes causing a lot of traffic jams. Do not try to touch are pet the ponies they are wild and can kick and bite and you could get a large fine for doing so. When we where there they have 82 ponies on the Island so with a little luck you can see them if you are here for a day trip.



Doing our stay we had to replace the fridge in the motor home the old one stopped cooling. After doing so shopping for a new RV type fridge and thinking about it we installed a residential house type fridge. We found one at the local home Depot the fit in the opening perfect with no cutting or mods to the cabinets. That was the best move we have made so for the new fridge is 2 cubic feet bigger than the old one and gets a lot colder then the RV Fridge. If you are having problem with your RV fridge than this is the way to go. 

Now we are back in Janes Island State Park in Crisfield Md. where we will be Camp Hosting until we leave to head South for the winter months. We have been hosting here for the past 8 years doing the summer months and love it. And the beat part we are Camp Hosting with our friends and our family is only about 45 minutes away.  Now I am ready to eat some crabs cakes, steamed crabs and fish, the the best part of being in this area is the sea food.
