Chincoteague Island, Va trip...
Chincoteague Island is near the Assateague Island National Seashore, http://www.nps.gov/asis/index.htm. The Assateague Island is the home of the wild horses you may have read about in Marguerite Henry's book Misty of Chincoteague. The horses still live on Assateague and every year they swim across the channel to Chincoteague for the "pony penning," where some are auctioned off.
