Evening Cruise to LBI

Long Beach Island (LBI) is a barrier island on the New Jersey Coast that is covered with homes, amusements, restaurants and nice beaches. It is marked by a 165' lighthouse on the North end known as 'Old Barney'.
One of our favorite things to do is to go to the island for Clam Chowder at a little restaurant that only makes Clam Chowder.
The other night we decided to take a cruise down to the island for some Clam Chowder. Barb and I, and Chris on his bike took the ride. The ride is along a fairly straight stretch of highway, Rt. 72, (about 30 miles to the island) that passes mostly through the Jersey Pinelands. The ride was uneventful with the exception of cars passing us at 70+ mph, in a endless hurry to get to the island.
It was a beautiful evening even thought it was hot (what a suprise these days). The chowder was goood (as always).
The ride home was into the West and was marked by a beautiful sunset and very little traffic going our direction.
