I did some solo camping on Assateague Island yesterday, in what is becoming an annual winter trip. Never again will I go there in the summer and battle the crowds and ticks. Starting to sound like an old curmudgeon, but its true. It was so much more peaceful. I had the entire first loop to myself, and there were only a couple of other campers in the second loop. Temperatures were mild, reaching the 50's during the day. Night time was cold and damp. This was the first time I didn't see any wild ponies on the island either, there were MIA, foraging somewhere hidden.

After sleeping pretty good the night before, I spent the next day hiking a couple of the trails on the island. I saw more birds this year than last...
