sounds great

It was thanks, hope you can enjoy it as well.

I live on Chincoteague-- It's a wonderful place. The best time to visit is definitely the fall. You have the beach virtually to yourself, the water is warmer than in the spring and summer, and the weather is not as hot and humid.

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip-- for those of you without pets, my family owns a hotel, the Refuge Inn, located next to the Bike Depot on Maddox Blvd. The website is www.refugeinn.com .

I was shocked to see little old Chincoteague Island pop up when I went to check my email. We're just a small town with a bit of a tourist season in the summer. On pony penning, we become popular, but that is just for one week out of the year. If anyone wants to know more about the island, just shoot me an email, I've lived here my whole life!

I guess I was shocked to see this also!! My mother was born in Tasley,VA and spent many summers in the area. I now live in Palm Springs, CA - love the desert but would maybe go back with my grandkids just to show them the eastern shore which is very diferent from most of what people think of when they hear "the South".

Went to chincoteague in 2005 for pony penning, loved every minute. I want to know what is the best way to see the ponies in there wild habitat? I am returning for a visit this year and hope to make this my vacation spot for the next 20 years. Everyone is so nice and polite, especially the locals. Just love the area. Stayed at Maddox Family Campground and loved it there. Especially its location to Asseateague island. See you all soon.
