Not Much Going On Today 9/24/2009

There wasn't much going on today as we just hung around the coach for the day seeing as there weren't a lot of caches to do in the area. We did take a drive into Cape Charles, VA and drove around the town. Cape Charles is located close to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, on Virginia's Eastern Shore, was founded in 1884 as a planned community by railroad and ferry interests. Cape Charles was, for many years, the terminal for passenger and car ferry service across the Bay to Norfolk and Hampton. The last ferry left Cape Charles in 1953. Cape Charles still serves as a terminal for railway barges that carry rail cars from the Eastern Shore Railroad across the mouth of the Bay to Norfolk. After leaving Cape Charles, the ferry boat terminal operated for some time out of nearby Kiptopeke. Ferry service from the Eastern Shore was terminated in 1964 with the opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. It is a lovely small town, very quiet and peaceful. We stopped at a old fashioned drug store that had a soda fountain and got ourselves an ice cream cone and headed back to the coach. We spent the rest of the day there watching TV. Well that's about it for now so we will close until next time and we love and miss you all. Mom & Dad Dori & Dick
