The Beach Comb
The crack of dawn at Dewey Beach is a popular time for certain activities: jogging, walking the dog, and, most importantly, beach cleaning. Every morning at 4AM, Tony Johnson Crivella climbs onto his tractor and guides his "surf rake" across the surface of the sand, picking up remnants of the beach revelry from the day before. Among the items he finds are disposable cups, towels, chairs, toys, cellphones, anything you might have ever seen people carrying onto the beach. People drinking tend to leave their cans. A LOT of cans.
Small-Scale Power
There are those who call wind turbines an "eye-sore," but there's little else negative to be said about them. As we found out from Jim Falk of University of Delaware, these strong and silent energy-producers are massively effective. When it works, it works.
ROAAAD TRIIIP!
So we got the extension to cruise around the rest of Delmarva vagabond style! That's right...back to our wayward, don't know where we're sleeping ways....
Today, we will begin the adventure in New Jersey at the Cape May to Lewes Ferry. We'll float into Lewes, Delaware (with our car on board) and head south towards the Virginia tip of Delmarva, cruising through our summer stomping ground and aiming for Southern Assateague and Chincoteague Islands.
Stay tuned for the ride!
