The dunes of Cape Henlopen, looking towards the Atlantic
Today, I got to tick another item off my list of ambitions: see a real live horseshoe crab. When we arrived at Rehoboth Beach yesterday, I did not have the highest hopes. The Atlantic coast is pretty enough, but it's a barren desert when it comes to wildlife. It turns out that the secret is to get into the Delaware estuary just a few miles north on the other side of Cape Henlopen. We found live horseshoes, eggs, and lots of dead carcasses.
