The cache has been changed to a virtual. Email me the GPS coordinates AND a description of the odd structure near the end of the spit. DO NOT POST EITHER PIECE OF INFORMATION IN YOUR LOG.
new Info: I've received too many requests to log without going to the actual site to glean the requisite information. All further logs that do not send the appropriate confirmation details will be deleted. Sorry. The hint has been adjusted to provide EXPLICIT details on how to access the spit.
Before there was a Chesapeake Bay Bridge, the “Reach the Beach” crowds from the Western Shore now clogging Route 50 had to utilize different modes of travel cross the Bay and the Delmarva Peninsula. This cache is a look back into time, when the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad met grand Bay ferries at this landing. Begun in 1890, the ferries transferred Annapolis and Baltimore passengers and freight to waiting trains until 1924, when financial troubles closed down the landing and rail line out to Easton, Salisbury, and Ocean City.
Now, this landing is one of the best places to catch a quiet sunset on the Bay. Enjoy the area, but remember to respect private property by walking back to the jetty access road from the wharf parking lot.
