Backpacking Assateague

Backpacking Assateague was like backpacking a dessert with cold wind coming from the direction of the Atlantic Ocean. Brrrrr. Even with this blazing fire we were still cold.



The wild horses in the park were quite tame. Here is one I could see from my tent. Park regulations don't allow us to pet them.


Overall, it was a fun trip with no biting mosquitos Assategue is known for, chemical toilets, good exercise, just enough warm clothing (day & night), huddling around a fire with Craig's leftover 2x4 & 2x6s, and a big tent to get us out of the cold temperature and in for a game of Rook.
