Quinby, Virginia


Thur. morning we left Williamsburg headed southeast on I-64 at Newport News we went through a long tunnel under the James river. We had to stop at a checkpoint where an inspector wrote down our licence no's and checked our tow car connections and made sure that we turned off the valve at the propane tank. After about a mile we surfaced traveling on int Norfolk, VA We then turned north on US 13 where we passed over the 20 mile Chesapeake Bay bridge There were also 2 long tunnels here. I assume that is where the ships pass to enter the bay. After stopping at the welcome center we traveled another 25 miles up the peninsula to the small town of Quinby, VA where we are staying at Virginia Landing a Thousand Trails Preserve on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
Unlike the hilly tree cover hills and mountains that we have been in the peninsula is flat and sandy with small fields of wheat. I would guess it to be no more than 2 miles wide in places. The middle picture is of a crabbing area less than 100 yards from our motor home.
