Rick, et al,
I was up at Cape Charles and Kiptopeke Beach a couple of weeks ago nosing 
around and picking up a travel trailer to bring back home. I was really 
turned off by the Kiptopeke state park rules of limited beach access to a 
good bit of the park waterfront under the auspices of "humans damage 
beaches". It does have an excellent ramp and protected beach launching 
areas though.

That said, I would like to be copied on any info anybody gathers on the 
ocean side of the Virginia eastern shore. There must be literally a 
thousand or more miles of ocean marshes and beaches to explore out there. I 
know that one of the local outfitters conducts day and overnight tours out 
there but I'm not into guided stuff. Also, I'm not very interested in the 
Chincoteague/Assateague area. Too commercialized and regulated.

Please keep me in mind if you will. I've only done some map reading 
research of the ocean side of the Eastern Shore so far. I do plan some 
reconnoitering in the near future.
