Mblatch and I had a pickle of a time finding a qualifying cache on this page.  We had troubles with DNF'ing caches and muggles and really were running thin on options on a page that really, doesn't have that many caches on it.  Even this qualifying cache was a rather difficult find for the both of us.

A very tricky find got mblatch and I another Delorme page, and for all the work we (well mblatch mostly) went through to find it, I had hoped it would've qualifed for nearby Page 32 which proved to be a more challenging page.

After a LEGO Convention in Northern Virginia, I saw an opportunity to grab a few MML Caches to continue that challenge which had the added benefit of another Delorme grid.  Turns out I would soon after move to Northern Virginia and actually live on the Virginia side of this grid, so it can be considered my extended Home Grid [:)].

As night settled down on mblatch and my journey back from our tour de Delmarva, we noticed this grid could be easily grabbed with just a slight detour along the Eastern Shore.

Mblatch and I were not only trying to find caches for the Delorme challenge, but we also wanted to keep the county challenge in mind as well.  With our particular itinerary, Charles county proved to be somewhat of a challenge with not many direct caching opportunities, and so we went a bit out of our way to find a cache or two just over the border into Caroline county also picking up this Delorme Grid along the way.
