Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland April 2008

SPRING VACATION, 2008

We left Meadville, PA around 7:30 am and arrived mid afternoon at Patapsco Valley State Park, just west of Baltimore. The road into the campground itself is not for the faint of heart! Although it is only about 1/2 mile into the campground, it is narrow, hilly and switchback curves. Glad we didn't meet anyone on the way in or out. We had a large, private site once we got there!

Daughter-in-law, Beth , and grandchildren, Emma and Donavin came out Saturday morning. They live at Fort Mead, between Baltimore and D.C. Saturday evening we attended the ranger program featuring snakes, owls, and turtles.

Here's Bill holding grandson, Donavin, age 18 months. What a cutie he is, and all boy!

Emma spent the night with us and on Sunday we went to Ellicott City and took a walk on the Trolly Line # 9 Trail.

Emma and "Grampy".

Emma found a "Geocache" in the hole of a large tree.

Geocaching is a "treasure hunt" using a GPS. Check it out on the internet at www.Geocaching.com. You find a lot of neat places that you would otherwise miss.

As you can see, it was a beautiful walk.
