The community is one of the most affluent communities along the Jersey Shore and is home to some of the most expensive real estate on the East Coast. In 2007.

Update 2:17 pm

Well, never stopped in Avalon but continued on to Stone Harbor for coffee and  bagel from Bread and Cheese in downtown.  Right choice.  Met another retired Coast Guard guy.  

I just picked up my coffee and bagel (with cream cheese) and a guy says to me “you retired Coast Guard.”  Mack, a 26-year veteran law enforcement  Chief Warrant Officer USCG.   Did most of his time down here.  He also had many more years in other law enforcement jobs which set him up for a great retirement life.  Cool dude. He told me a short story .... he was waiting in Guam for orders to an 82-foot patrol boat in Vietnam, and someone took his assignment.  He spent the next three years playing football for the Navy on Guam ....  can you believe that.  Love the USCG right.  Nice meeting Mack!

The ride to Stone Harbor, N. Wildwood and Cap e May was outstanding. A lot of clouds, but they cleared.  Many bridges to cross, traffic was very light so no biggie.  Hope you enjoy the images.

Keith A. SpanglerOur overnights were so nice, great people. You know guys, I admirer you for doing such great Journals. It was a challenge learning how to find time to shot, pedal, write and edit. I tried to make quality, but it failed at times. I hope I corrected it all
