March 10, 2004 - NYC
Brooklyn
The day started very unsure. I'd borrowed camping gear, packed up my bike stuff, my tools, cooler, clothes, maps, phone, radar detector flash lights. Washed the car, filled it with gas, had the oil changed, and even checked the pressure in the spare.. Still, I felt unprepared. I was not sure where I was going. I had a vague idea that I'd drive down the eastern seaboard paralleling the Intracoastal Waterway, and camp on Assateague Island.
I got to the turn off for Assateague at about 4:00. The weather was crap. Cold, Rainy, and Windy! I knew that the storm would pass through in about 7 hours, but I didn’t want my first night of camping to be in those conditions. So, I kept going on to my sister's house on the other end of the state.
