Weather – Sunny and cooler today. What a nice change.
We were back on the road today. Boy, were we! Our journey included 265 driving miles in 5 states (NC, VA, MD, DE and NJ). We crossed two large bays. We left The Refuge Campground at 9:45am and arrived at Beachcomber Camping Resort in Cape May, NJ at 9:30pm.
Chesapeake Bay
The Chesapeake Bay crossing consists of 17 miles of bridges and tunnels.

The Campground
We arrived in the dark and had to back into a space bounded by two trees and two fences. This is supposed to be a very nice place. Unfortunately, we won’t know until tomorrow when we can see it.
This was a long day. We look forward to sleeping without the air conditioner for the first time in many days.
