The Road Least Traveled

While in Rehoboth, Jim and I took a day to drive down to Assateague Island National Seashore. I thought I had been to this park before, and likely I had visited the visitor center, but apparently, most of my time had been spent at Chincoteague. I don't ever recall seeing so many of the native horses, nor of them being so close to the car!

We hiked to one of the beaches along a trail. At one point, they were trying to build a resort in the area and there was residual macadam from the roadway that was to be used to enter the site. The idea was abandoned but the road, or bits of it, remain. You can walk on some parts of it--indeed it is the bulk of the trail we chose. 



This layout is based on a sketch from the CM 101 sketches book (page 104). The sketch calls for a series of diamonds on the left side and when I saw the print on this paper, I knew it was the perfect fit. I believe the background pages are old CM. I didn't purchase them though--my sister and I had taken all of our unused scrapbook supplies to sell at a specialty yard sale earlier this year. This paper didn't sell so I took it for my own stash (I think it was my sister's though it could have been my mother's). I liked the way the blue pulled out the sky and our clothing in the photos. A touch of green matched the grasses as well. There is a 2nd paper that forms the mats for the right side of each page. It keeps a bold pattern from becoming overwhelming. The "Road Trip" die cut and horse sticker are from the Eastern National scrapbook kit.
