A knock at the door...

I peeked out from behind the curtains. The concerned faces of two police officers waited to speak with me, their attention momentarily diverted to another police officer as he apparently instructed an idling tow truck driver to circle the block so the vehicle would be properly positioned to haul Beauty, our Airstream, away.

Okay. Let’s flashback.

Big playgrounds come to those who sacrifice.

Assateague Island: Horses of Course

For the most part, the wildlife we see is printed on road signs ...

As feral free-ranging seniors, living in the great outdoors of North America, one would think that by now we'd have spotted a real live moose in the wild.

Nope. Not a one. Grand Teton's, Canada, Indian Lake, New York, home of the Moose Festival ... and still no moose.

Bears? Okay, we've seen two juvenile brown bears foraging for wild apples near the road in the Canadian Rockies. But, for all the months we stayed in The Florida Keys, we never spotted a single Key Deer – not even when we drove thirty miles out of our way on Key Deer Boulevard to a sanctuary.

Yup, we couldn't even spot a Key Deer in a Key Deer Refuge.

It's all about priorities.

Back At Ya’ New Jersey

Rehoboth Beach and Cape May

The LIB Eastern Seaboard Tour ended with our first-ever stop in Delaware and our second visit to New Jersey. In 2019, we only explored a few blocks of Jersey City, in our campground across the Hudson from Manhattan.

So, even though we felt Summer 2021 was our first real visit to New Jersey, this was technically our second. We were relieved to see for ourselves that South Jersey is nothing like Jersey City, where a turtle's safe crossing on I-78 would require National Guard assistance.

We arrived in Delaware in late Spring with four weeks remaining before we had to turn west.

Thus began our long good-bye to the Atlantic ocean – the beaches, breweries, the fresh seafood. After three weeks of farewelling The Eastern Seaboard, it seemed like way too much work to hitch up.
