About This Item

Chesapeake Crabs

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.

Please do not log this geocoin if you have not gone to the trouble of finding it in a physical cache. No Event caches please. Logs suspected of being virtual swaps will be deleted.

This is not a regular trading item. This geocoin is a travel bug with a mission. If you do not intend to log your visit, please do not take this item. Please try to place it in another cache within a fortnight.

Lots of lovely unpolluted water round here if the many local seafood restaurants are anything to go by. Plus the cache has a Maryland theme, so the geocoin should feel at home here (even if it is only a replica, not the real thing).

This location is right beside the abandoned Lancaster to Kendal canal. Water still flows even though the boats have long gone (although there is a project currently underway to reopen the canal all the way to Kendal) So the fish will once again have the boats to contend with together with the fishermen which can often be seen lining the bank.
