Participants
Djaquay (talk), wife, and daughter.
Plans
Expedition
We started out aiming to head for the hashpoint, then go get something to eat down in Annapolis. But as the hashpoint was 80mi/125km away, direct, by the time we got down there, everybody (else) was getting hungry, so we hit Annapolis first. Ate at the apparently world famous (or at least "as seen on TV") Chick 'n Ruth's Delly (sic); had a couple of beers and a delicious omelet, took a tour of town, walked around a bit, and grabbed some ice cream.
And then headed for the hashpoint. Park was pretty well deserted by the time we got there, a little after 6pm. Rain, which had been forcasted, held off until after we left, but it was starting to look gloomy. Fortunately, the point was conveniently just off a path, at the edge of a patch of light woods, maybe 100m from the parking lot.
Photos
The beer, at the diner.
The trail to the hashpoint.
The proof.
