Dead End of the Bay

July 26, 2008
Romancoke, Maryland

Both of us were looking for a place to stop where we could look far out into the Chesapeake Bay, so the next day before getting to the Bay Bridge, we simply drove south down a local road to Romancoke, an unincorporated town that is basically a volunteer fire station and community center that dead ends into the Bay. In no rush to get to DC, we decided to park up for the night.

In one of our more stressful RV moments, we backed the RV into the local electricity cable overhead, and nearly tore the metal luggage rack off, taking the entire cable with us. I guess we were lucky, but getting out of the tangled mess was quite a scene: throwing wooden spoons up to shaune who was balanced on top to untangle the cable. In the end, no major harm was done, and we spent the evening eating our Chinese stir fry that we made on a desolate pier in the Bay. The view was spectacular, but other than that, there was nothing else for miles. We threw our crab trap out, but the crabs seemed to have outsmarted us, grabbing most of our the chicken drumstick without setting it off.
