Maryland is a beautiful state; well the western side of it is. We haven't seen the eastern side (across the Chesapeake Bay). And probably won't this trip. Spent the last 3 days in Point Lookout State Park, Scotland, MD, where they have a civil war museum and Fort Lincoln. Apparently 50,000 prisoners went through the prison there in just over a year! And Fort Lincoln is all that remains of the original structures (it's been renovated). Very cool. We rode our bikes all over the park a few days ago (it's about 1000 acres...we didn't do it all!) Now we're in Charlotte Hall, north of the park for a farm festival going on this weekend (free camping). We'll be here til Monday or so...we offered to help clean up the grounds after it's over. Should be a good weekend. The reason we're in this part of the world is because our friends, Bernie & Shirley from the Baja trip live in Hollywood, MD, about 20 miles from the state park. Caught up with them Tuesday evening, then they made us dinner Wednesday night and we were able to meet their daughter Julie that night. She's a traveling nurse, so we had lots to talk about.
Bob's doing well, but I "threw out my back" yesterday:( I've been dreading this day all my life. You know, the day you wake up and realize you're old. I was taking a shower, and I turned wrong. I was out of commission all day, but today is better thanks to a bunch of Advil. It really is true...when you retire you fall apart...
