The Quest for the Corvair

You've already seen the picture of the Corvair...so now let's hear the saga of going to get it. It was living up in New Jersey...near Atlantic City. The owners actually live in a floating house across the bay from Atlantic City:


It was pretty cool...but I digress.

We decided to take two days to go up to New Jersey and decided to take the scenic route. We went up through Virginia and took the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel from Virginia to Maryland and then drive up into Delaware.



We decided to take the Porsche and it was a wonderful day...not too hot, not too cold, so we were able to take the top off of the car.



We took the require tourist pictures at the bridge and then went under the bay. I've got to say it's kind of freaky to think that you are actually under the water.















(Tracking the path of the tunnel):


After driving through the Eastern Shore of Virginia (just why did Virginia get that little piece of land that isn't connected to anything else Virginian?), Maryland and Delaware we decided to stay the night in the Lewes area so we could catch the Lewes/Cape May ferry to New Jersey the next morning. Unfortunately we had not realized that Lewes is a "shore" town and this was August. Everything was either full or $220 a night. We finally found an old 50's motor inn that had seen better days. And even though we had to pay cash up front, it actually ended up being more than adequate...though I'm sure the Porsche being parked out front looked a little odd.
