This Maryland Geocoin is named after fond memories of a crab feast I enjoyed on the shores of Chesapeake Bay near Baltimore in the 1970s with my brother and his wife’s family. Crab lines were left dangling over jetties while we went sailing, and when we returned a huge load of crabs and sweetcorn was cooked and laid out on a beach banquet table under the hot summer sun.
It seemed to me that this was the land of the plenty, and that Nature was good, beautiful and bountiful.
Now, apparently, Chesapeake Bay and its marine ecology is suffering from oxygen depletion and various pollutants which have created ‘dead-zones’.
What are we doing to our beautiful planet?
The actual Maryland geocoin stays with the owner. This is a replica for placing in the cache in an attempt to discourage those lovely non-muggles who like to "collect" (ie steal) other people's geocoins.
