A cool and hazy sunrise. But all systems are go for traveling the last section of this leg. Cape May, New Jersey is our final destination of this leg. We return to Minnesota on Sunday.
We finished traveling through the C&D canal passing under numerous bridges. This is a railroad bridge. If there had been a train coming, it would have been lowered and we would have had to stop and wait for the train to pass.
I thought these two bridges made for a neat visual.
We entered out into Delaware Bay and started to see dolphins and jellyfish before long. In other words, the water is salty again. And will continue to become more so as we head toward the Cape May and the Atlantic.
We could see the Salem Nuclear Power Plant from miles away. The plume coming out of the chimney is water vapor, not smoke. I wonder if Homer Simpson is working today?
Bruce Willis worked as a security guard at this power plant before he pursued his acting career.
The Delaware Bay is a large expanse of water and is wide enough that we are out of sight of the land. The water was calm today with just a ripple on it. Much different from how it was behaving yesterday. Really glad we waited till today to travel it.
Wow, can't believe I had so much to catch up on reading your blog. First of all, Happy Anniversary! Yes, who would've known 33 years ago that you would be doing this great adventure. We (Andy and I) will be in D.C. the weekend of September 23rd and staying at a hotel in Alexandria. I've been to Washington a number of times with my late husband because part of his growing up years were in the D.C. area going to school in Alexandria and in Springfield so we would just go out there for fun - along with Williamsburg. Anyway, we'll be going for my stepfather-in-law's burial at Arlington that weekend. He passed away in June. We decided to travel out there and back by train. Should be fun taking the train. Miss you at garden club. Sure do enjoy your stories and reading about your travels. ~Eileen
