Favorite thing: If you think of the state as crab's left claw, with the Chesapeake Bay between the pinchers

Southern Maryland where I live is the west side or thumb side of the claw and it consists of the counties of Charles, Calvert, and St. Mary's. I live in Leonardtown, which is in St. Mary's County, Maryland. So I have lots of tips in this area, which I have distributed into the various communities served by a single post office but which are separate areas in VT.

In addition to (first number = tips, second number = photos, third number = travelogues) Leonardtown 28 122 5 (28 tips 122 photos and 5 travelogues) I have pages at (in alphabetical order within the counties):

Charles County
Benedict 1 6 0
Hughesville 1 1 0
Morgantown 10 63 1 (north end of the 301 Nice Bridge)
Popes Creek 3 15 0

Calvert County
Broomes Island 1 4 0
Lusby 2 7 0
Prince Frederick 9 54 0 (the County Seat)
Solomons Island 45 202 5 (home of the Maritime Museum)

But of course most of my tips are in St. Mary's County

    This barn is located in Aquasco MD, which is Prince George's County....not Charles County.
