A Gorgeous Sunny Day - Finally!!!!

This was a positively fabulous weather day!  Ken and I took a bike ride to the private beach near the CG, Berkeley Beach and sat on the dock just taking in the sun and view.  Back to Willie for a cooked breakfast before heading back to Sandy Point to look for more sea glass.  We were like "kids" again walking the beach and collecting our treasures.  We found almost as much sea glass as the last time we were there. 


The wood "boundaries" on each side mark the width
 of the public beach! Big, huh!

The actual public beach is about 30' wide, probably enough room for a couple dozen beach chairs if they were on top of each other.  But, they entire time we were there, about 2 1/2 hours, we did not see one person on the beach and we walked a large part of the primitive area.  It was so beautiful.

Came back in time to play 2 games of shuffleboard and I was the winner of both games.  It is now the talk of the staff here at the CG, since no one else seems to play and they always want to know who wins.  There are 2 couples, a widowed lady who full-times by herself, and a young local gal who run this CG.  They are so friendly and helpful.  Everyday they asked about our truck situation, and today the one gentleman stopped by to wish us luck for our trip home and back.  They are genuinely concerned.  That makes this place even more special!

Before dinner, we took a bike ride and got a photo of a road over a dam that was washed away during the flooding from Tropical Storm Lee.  They had 22'" of rain in less than 24 hours!  Ken also wanted to get a sunset picture.  He always does that on all our trips.  It was a beautiful, clear evening! 





We are planning to leave early tomorrow morning for PA, get the truck, take the car to our house, and then turn right around and return to Harbor View tomorrow evening.  We figure we will be driving about 9 hours or so.  We just hope we get back here safe and sound and that all of our belongings here in VA will be back in PA on Saturday.
