Title: The winter beach
Description: In late october, in a small bus equipped for camping, Mr Ogburn set out alone for upper Maine. From Mount Desert Island, he traveled south with the season, pausing for intensive explorations of Cape Cod and Nantucket, the Long Island beaches, and the Chincoteague and Assateague Islands off the Virginia shore, until he reached the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He brought back an account of a world that repays exertion with exhiliration, a world on which man's hold is precarious and in which he faces the ultimate questions of existence.
