    Berlin, MD to Snow Hill, MD

    This morning, we didn’t even need to go see the sunrise to get the Assateague horses to show up; they were there from the moment I crawled out of the tent. Three of them started about 60 feet away, but slowly came closer to our site, heads down obsessively munching grass the whole time while…
