DESCRIPTION
If you like beaches, this event is for you! Join us for a daylong visit to the picturesque Assateague State and National Parks and Rehoboth Beach.

ASSATEAGUE PARKS
We will explore three short trails in the park: Life of the Dunes nature trail, Life of the Forest nature trail, and Life of the Marsh nature trail - all short. Wild horse sightings to be expected, in addition to the marsh birds and in general pleasant scenery. Lunch will be in the park - bring with you. There will be time for an optional swim in the ocean. There are showers.

REHOBOTH BEACH
Returning to our cars, we will head north to Rehoboth Beach and walk the boardwalk end-to-end. Time permitting, we may do a short beach walk. We will then stop in town for dinner, before starting our 2.5-hour drive back to Forest Glen Metro.

This will be a daylong event with LOTS of driving - be prepared!
