Cape Charles VA

Cape Charles is another small town with a big story. About 35 million years ago a meteor fell to earth creating an impact crater 50 miles wide and a mile deep. It created a splash and a tsunami that reached the Blue Ridge Mountains changing the east coast. It is the largest impact crater in the US and the sixth largest in the world. The party we went to tonight was to celebrate U-Hauls recognizing Cape Charles on their trucks.
Cape Charles is one of those small towns with small town charm. Not much traffic, so bikes are the mode of transportation, or if you don't want to ride your bike you can call for a golf cart taxi. The local hardware store is an old time hardware store with wash boards, wash tubs and everything between including the old timers in the rocking chairs out front.

Past my bedtime!
