Maryland and Washington, DC (July 28-30)
We arrived in College Park, MD, home of the University of Maryland, too late to meet up with our local product, Tyler Burdorff, who recently moved to my alma mater to coach throwers on the Cal Track and Field team. No matter! We were a subway ride away from DC and got to see both my cousin Ron and HS friend Florian. And we escaped the heat to the air conditioned comfort of the Smithsonian art museums! Maryland is our 47th state to camp in of the Lower 48. Only South Carolina remains. We had reservations at Cherry Hill Campground, and we both agreed that it was the nicest campground at which we ever stayed. Very family friendly, yet quiet (except for the highway noice outside the boundaries of the camp; it kind of drowned out the crickets and frogs at night!). I took this photo for Matt, who’s become comically obsessed with tractors of all sorts after riding several RAGBRAIs. He was immediately appreciative when I sent him the photo! 😄 Ron suggested we pop into Kramer Books for so...
