Geocache Description:

 A C&D not far off 301 with room for small swag. There is a resident Great Blue Heron that likes to fish the pond just off 301 to the west of 213. Maybe it will be there when you swing through? As the signs will show you, Rt 213 is one of Maryland's Chesapeake Country Scenic Byways. This particular section is #17 of 19. Here are a couple excerpts from Wikipedia.


"The Maryland Scenic Byways system consists of nineteen byways that pass through scenic and historic areas across the U.S. state of Maryland. The byways pass through a variety of surroundings, such as the mountains of Western Maryland, the rolling countryside in the northern part of the state, urban sites in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. areas, small towns and wildlife areas along the Chesapeake Bay, and beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. The byways also serve historical sites ranging from colonial settlement, the War of 1812, and the American Civil War, along with byways that follow the historic routes of the National Road and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal."

Section 17: "The Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway is a national scenic byway on Maryland's Eastern Shore region. The byway runs from Stevensville, near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in Chesapeake City and has a spur to Eastern Neck Island on the Chester River. The main route runs mostly along Maryland Routes 18 and 213, former main roads that have since been bypassed by US 50 and US 301. The spur runs along Maryland Routes 20 and 445. A state-designated extension of the national byway continues across the Bay Bridge, into Annapolis, then back onto the Eastern Shore into St. Michaels. Both the national and state-designated sections of the byway run past many towns and buildings that remain preserved from the 18th and 19th centuries, passing through farmland and waterfront areas on the Chesapeake Bay......."

The fact of the matter is nothing on the shore is just around the corner, so our goal is to fill in the area with some interesting hides to make the long drives more rewarding. This is one of those fillers. Enjoy!

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow could keep barbershop2010 from grabbing the FTF honors. Congrats! Let me guess, you looked over and said; Whatcha think - should we grab One More?
