After walking around Odessa for a bit, I wanted to drive down Delaware Route 9 for a while, at least to Woodland Beach. Delaware Route 9 from New Castle to Kitts Hummock is probably the most scenic drive in our little state, with farmland, tidal creeks and rivers, stately old farmsteads and mansions, and Delaware Bay culture.
Fairview, built 1733
The Huguenot House, built 1735
Blackbird Creek
Reedy Island Rear Range Lighthouse, built 1910
At the lighthouse at the Taylors Bridge area, I had to stop and turn around, because some slow plow driver went off into a ditch. So much for more scenes from our main bayshore road.
