Here are some photos from our recent trip to Virginia's Eastern Shore.

The area extends from Chincoteague at the upper end to the lower Bay Bridge Tunnel across the Chesapeake Bay inlet from Hampton Roads. It is bounded by the Chesapeake Bay on one side and the barrier islands of the Atlantic Ocean on the other. There are historical sites from the 17th and 18th century but the area itself is sparsely populated and mostly undeveloped.

This abandoned house in the middle of a small town would make a great restoration project......yes?
