That’s my stomping ground. I hike that area ALL the time & know all the horses and lodges

Thanks for taking the time guys I've always Wanted to explore The island myself Because I know there's more to it than just the beach. And horses And it's really cool that you got to speak with the family about the beach house and how it used to be

There's always something to explore on the island! Thanks for watching!

Hi Jay and Ashley, in the early 90's I lived in OP and I volunteered for the National Park on Assateaque my job was to warn the people away from the horse's and when the tourist would not get back I would chase the horse's away and them, they would get upset with me. I had a park uniform and hat and the horse's knew to stay away from me, I rode a bike and had a radio it case of an issue, it was kind of funny when the tourist would not listen to me....Thanks for your video's.

I had my step counter on....16,500 steps was the grand total. Our legs were tired after that!

I traveled that road every weekend back in the 50s,60s. The road went down the middle of the island and there were no forks.

From what we gathered, it had turns in the road and wasn't just a straight road?

Yeah! But how did it get there?! Only reason I think it's something else is because the spikes to it were very long.

My wife and I have been going to Assateague for over 25 years, and we just found this path 3 years ago. Baltimore Boulevard the main drive for the development project. Mother Nature had other plans.

From what I understand and read about, they removed the road but never completely removed it because of the budget. So that's the reason it's left like it is today.

HI guys, The sign you found had retroreflective sheeting as the background. Looked like type 4 grade. I would estimate its about 10 years old.

That thing took an absolute beating for being 10 years old! Thanks for commenting, we were wondering how old it was since we knew it wasn't an antique.

Great video, would’ve been interesting to imagine how the island would’ve developed had they built there after the storm in 1963. Nixon apparently had a lot and was scheduled to build a home there. Maryland would’ve had their own island with “high net worth” individuals building single family homes instead of condos. I guess we got that today in Delaware. All of the people with big money buy up in Lewes and Rehoboth and have kind of ruined the area. For better or worse Biden causes a lot of traffic whenever he flies in…

I'm thinking the park service may have some maps of the area that would show those old roads.

@ReelJayB

They might....but trying to get anything out of the Park Service is...well...a giant pain. I've gone to them before for things and they aren't much help at all. I tried to go there to see where the old road went (for the Clements video I was doing) and the park service employee didn't even know a road existed nor even the name of the Clements house. It's baffling how little information they know about the history of the island.

I cannot understand why they haven't removed the remainder of Baltimore Blvd. Get rid of it and let nature be. All that garbage going into the sand will have major impacts in the years coming. I guess 60 years wasn't enough time to take it out. Sad to see. Even more sad to see the dead horses. And I'm surprised you didn't come in contact with any live horses. What a treasure where you live is. I'm so envious. Hope you all feel better soon!!

The old road is history, so they kept it as is. The rest of the road is pretty much gone and washed away. We saw a few horses towards the end of the video, but I always try to keep my distance. I don't want to know what it feels like to be kicked HAHA

The deceased horse at 15:10 was an older mare named April she was born in 1996.
