Day 51 – Crab Cakes, Return to Camping, Locavore Cuisine – June 11, 2018

Highway 50 East takes you out of the Washington, D.C. area, through Annapolis, MD and out toward the ‘Eastern Shore’. It was a cool rainy morning and although we’d missed the morning rush hour, there was still a lot of traffic on the road until we got east of Annapolis.

Just in time for lunch, Karen located a lunch spot in Kent Narrows, MD. The Harris Family Crab House caters to the local crowd and features crab, oysters, shrimp and other local seafood. You know it’s going to be good when they tear off a big piece of butcher paper and lay it across the table before serving you. I recommend the blue crab cake sandwich for lunch.

On our way to the campground, Assateague National Seashore, we stopped at a local produce/seafood stand and got some asparagus, shrimp and Amish spiced peaches to use for dinner that night. Karen said the asparagus was the best she’d ever eaten – I agree.

The rain stopped before we got to the campground, but the skies remained dark and ominous. Along with this was a strong and steady northeasterly wind. It was blowing so hard when we walked out on the beach, that it felt like our legs were getting sandblasted. We had dinner in the Aliner. By the time we finished eating, the skies had begun to clear and we were treated to a brilliant sunset.
