[Paddlewise] Assateague

Mike,

Assateague is a wonderful place to paddle.  It is most famous for the 
herd(s?) of free roaming ponies.  It is infamous for it's biting flies, 
mosquitoes, ticks, and deer ticks.

You will have a wonderful time if you wait until after the bugs die off to 
go.  Paddle the National park (entry fee, camping fee) if you want to stay in 
a back country site.  You must bring your own water but there are 
porta-potties.  You can also walk across the island to the ocean side.  The 
surf is almost all dumping shore-break.   

Visit http://www.nps.gov/ for more information.

November. Does anyone have any advice about the whos, whats, whens and 
wheres?
