    Assateague Island

    Anyone ever been there?

    It's in Maryland if I'm not mistaken and I wanna put a trip together for me and my girl this summer.

    The have a reserver there with a bunch of wild ponies and you can take your car on the beach and see the ponies running free.

    Never heard of it, but it looks like a lot of fun.

    Ya they say a Spanish cargo ship in the 1600's dropped off about 300 of these ponies and sunk offshore.

    Also the island has a fence. Half VA and half MD.

    You should go.

    Yup, I've been camping there. It was very windy, and I learned what it was like to be a kite.

    I did enjoy camping there, and the beach is beautiful. It's been WAAAYYYY too many years since I've been there, so I really can't think of anything that might be useful now. Sorry.

    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
