    On The Way to Cape May - Sung to the tune of "On the Way to Cape May."

    I took a 152-mile round trip to Cape May, NJ today. This is our southernmost shore point. It's where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean and a popular resort area. Still pretty busy, even after Labor Day when the shore town activity usually winds down. It was overcast all day, and cool. Perfect riding weather. On the way down I noted the trees are starting to change color already. I hit a squall passing through Buena Vista on Rt 54 on the way home. Got a little wet, but Miss Maggie needed a bath anyway.

    The wreck of the SS Atlantus, an experimental WW1 vintage concrete ship that sunk just offshore.

    Cape May is a Mecca for bird watchers. It's one of the biggest draws on the east coast for these types because it is a direct southerly migration route across the Delaware bay for flocks of all types heading south.

    Cape May is a pretty toney area. Here are a couple of the run-down, flea bag hotels.

    Just a local little pootle about for me today, went to see my dads resting spot at the cemetery and then thought I should capture a nice autumn scene with the bikes new shiny bits sorted (carbon heel guards and machined headlight bezel).
