Biking: Assateague Island
We loaded our our bikes on the back of the car and headed down the eastern shore of Maryland, hoping to enjoy this clear spring day. Following the directions in our tourbook, we ended up at Assateague Island National Seashore just south of Ocean City. Assateague is an undeveloped barrier island on the Maryland-Virginia line, known for it’s wild ponies which migrate annually back and forth to Chincoteague Island. The story of the ponies was made famous by Marguerite Henry in her children’s books, the Misty of Chincoteague series.
