    Awesome place, it's just that I visited it soooooooooo long ago, I can't remember if we saw any ponies, I do remember smores on the beach, some nearly 25 years ago. Our skipper took a hand full of ensigns down for a day. It was great. Thanks for sharing this outstanding lens!

    My daughter-in-law and I were just talking about the "Misty" books, and remembering how much we loved them as kids. We're lobbying to go to Chincoteague next year as a family vacation, and I can use your info to help sway my husband (won't be difficult -- we'd both love to go to the National Wildlife Refuge!).

    Great lens. I've been to Chincoteague Island about a dozen times, mostly for its great variety of bird life. Even went camping there with some non-birding friends Your lens re-kindled some old memories.

    Hi daybreak, I invite you to add your fascinating lens to my (very) new group "SUMMER": http://www.squidoo.com/groups/summer
    It still has some bugs in it, e.g. there is no JOIN button (Squidoo Support is working on it) so you have to leave me a blurb in the guestbook and I will add you manually!
  • Barkely Apr 11, 2007 @ 5:51 pm | delete
    Beautiful. We go to the Outer Banks every year, this makes me want to journey a litle further north on our next trip. I loved the Misty books when I was growing up. Thanks for sharing
