Onley, VA again

Our morning started with “pea soup thick” fog that definitely impacted our photographs.  We did find several interesting things to photograph.  One of which was supposed to have been miles away on yesterday’s route.  In downtown Exmore, we found the Cobb Station.  According to the sign it had been moved and is undergoing renovations.  Yesterday, we looked for the station at the place our GPS said it should be.  We also took a side trip up Cobb Station Road and it wasn't there either.  Now we know why.  We also photographed an Eastern Shore Railroad caboose, the only remains of that railroad we could find. More interestingly was our photograph of Myrtle Grove.

Note the two pictures of Myrtle Grove we have attached.  They are the same photo, the first straight from the camera, the second after a little Photoshop work.  When we took the picture, we were sure we would not get anything usable because we could barely see the house.  To our surprise, Photoshop revealed what we could not see.


We planned a 60 plus mile route for today but at noon the skies opened up and dropped buckets of rain upon us.  At that point we decided to forgo the remaining 22 miles of our scenic “sea side” route and take route 13 directly to our motel.  While that ride was only 9 miles we got soaked.
