Beaches!
Day 4 (2022-06-06) 53 miles, 577 feet (2091)

Today was in some respects a travel day: the day we would finally get to the beach, but before that we had some good lonely country roads, a good burger in Dewes, during which most of the guys were on their phones, heads down, just like a bunch of teenagers.

Getting to5he beach was great, Rehobeth is as I remembered: crowded, sun-drenched and beautiful, and I was not at all sad to leave after 15 minutes. Perhaps the most fun was being on these beautiful bike paths, culminating in a path that seemed like remote single-track that nonetheless popped us up in the middle of rehobeth beach, traffic jams and all (despite this being Monday early in June).

After setting up camp we walked to the beach for dinner, very good Mahi tacos in the aptly named "Big Chill" restaurant. We were outside on the roof, and though DarkSkies claimed it was 70, the wind was cold to the extent that we were all shivering (though Bill begged a sweatshirt from the waitress).

Sleep might be interesting tonight because of that cold breeze. I don't have any real cold-weather clothing, but I'm going to bed in wool socks, shorts, tshirt, long-sleeved biking shirt, a pseudo-wool long-sleeved shirt, and my windproof raincoat. In my sleeping bag. To be fair, I can't really put up my rain fly w/ my current tent configuration, though I do have at least one wall covered. See iteration 4 of the poleless tent, with a windbreak!
