Assateague and the ponies
1965
Worcester County, Maryland

A barrier island of feral horses, said locally to descend from a Spanish shipwreck and more likely from colonial owners dodging livestock tax. A planned resort was wiped out by a 1962 storm before it was built, and the island became a national seashore instead.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
