After we left NY, we drove to Maryland and camped on Assateague Island for a few days to play on the beach and watch the wild ponies. Assateague is where the story of Misty and Stormy takes place and the wild horses are believed to have originated from a Spanish ship importing the horses to the US from Spain that crashed off the shore. There are hundreds of wild horses that travel in smaller herds and while they are pretty to look at, they are rather pesky and can be aggresive. We watched two horses harass a family with grocery bags of snacks. The family was packing up for the day and put their bags in the back of their minivan. The horses went into the back of the minivan, found the bags, dragged them back out, and had a junk food feast!
