10/27 Chesapeake Bay Bridge and beyond

A two walk day. Lunchtime stroll, and then in the evening I walked to the library to restock my audio book supply. I had finished the Game of Thrones a couple of days ago and put a hold on the rest of the series. Books 3,4 & 5 were waiting for me, but I am number 4 on the list for book 2. Dang it. Oh well, I'll upload the ones I've got and patiently wait for number 2 to come my way.  Todays total is 7 miles, which gives me a trip total of 92.10 miles.

I walked to the foot of the Chesapeake Bay bridge, where Tony, Andrew and Buddy picked me up. We watched a sailboat regatta as we crossed the bay and drove into our campsite at the Sandy Point State Park.

The campers at the next site were having a Hawaiian Luau party and invited us over. They had a pig on a spit over the fire. As the party goers passed by, we all cranked the handle to keep porky rolling. The crackling skin and dripping juices sent a wonderful aroma over the whole campground. Later, we parked ourselves on the beach and did some ocean fishing. I have no idea what kind of fish are in there, but we didn't catch any. Good thing because none of us know how to clean a fish (or cook one on a campfire either for that matter).
Here's Tony doing some aerobic fishing.

Once again, I'm listening to surf and smelling salt water as I drift off to sleep. I think we'll make this our base camp for the next few hikes. (Especially if our neighbors stick around and cook for us).
