If it's not too far for you all to come to MD. there's Janes Island (Chesepeke Bay) and Pocomoke River SP, either Shad landing (river and pool) or Milburn landing (river) Both are close to Assateague for ocean access. If you have any questions about either of these just ask.  If you do have a rally down this way we'll be glad to help in planning and running.

I hear the bugs at Assateague Island are bad in August.  Looks at the other places.

I also doubt if you can get into Assateague in august by now! At least not in a group.

We'd be up for a water based adventure in August.  Doesn't necessarily have to be the beach.  Shade trees in camping area would be a plus though.  First 2 weekends would work for us.

The 3 I mentioned are all shady. They're in old growth pine forests. The first weekend is out for us, we have a fellow VA camper in town from Roanoke, VA. and will be at Janes Monday and Tuesday.

We are planning to be at Janes Island at least part of the week of June 25th - would love to meet up with anyone else who can make it.

Tom - will let you know our dates for sure when I book them  🙂
