CINAPC. I must confess that I am a born and bred Floridian, but today is Maryland Day, so I will stick to that theme for today's simple puzzle.
On this date in 1634, a group of carefully selected Catholics and Protestants landed on the island of St. Clements and founded the first settlement in Maryland, which they called St. Mary's City. While religious freedom was supposed to be the hallmark of the new colony, Puritans tended to dominate the political and social life of Maryland and there was much conflict between them and the Catholics. The Toleration Act was intended to ensure religious freedom to all who "believed in Jesus Christ," but in 1654 it was repealed by the Puritans who controlled the colony. A brief civil war ensued, Lord Baltimore lost his proprietary rights over the colony (he later regained these rights), and conflict continued until the mid 19th century when Catholic immigrants began to outnumber the protestants. in Maryland.

Container is a pill bottle, room for some small items, un-activated TB for FTF. Log is in a container inside; alzarius might recognize the log container. Please use stealth as necessary. Canines walking their humans will be the main concern here.
