Or...how to cheat the state of Maryland-and possibly death! Forgive the camera shake and length of this video-and ride along with us! As per usual-we begin in Baltimore (being that's where we live!!) and use a totally toll-free route to get to Maryland's gem-by-the-sea, Ocean City! We use a route once referred to as "around the horn" in the pre-Bay Bridge days. But not the most obvious route some of you might be thinking of! Once we leave US 40 we're off-the-beaten path on many Delaware back roads! We stay on these roads as long as possible before finally having no choice but to get back on beaten paths! We stop at various points of interest along the way: Gunpowder State Park, the Ma & Pa RR Trail in Bel Air MD, the C&D; Canal and Augustine Beach DE before winding up in Lewes and Rehoboth DE, and-finally-Ocean City-a onetime railroad town, believe it or not!! YES, there IS a connection with railroads and Ocean City-WATCH!! Does yer' bullfrog actually own a condo there? Watch and see!! And, what's a trip down the ocean without walking the boardwalk! You'll see many of the sites you remember including The Kite Loft, M.R. Ducks, the Haunted House, and of course, Thrasher's Fries! And yer' frog's favorite- the Shooting Gallery! Oh, that's right-you'll see the Atlantic too. Sorry for the abrupt end of the vid! I can't find the SanDisk chip containing the files for the return trip-also toll-free! Let me know if you're familiar with any parts of this route! But-at what point are we officially on the Eastern Shore? Look on the Google map and tell me your thoughts on that! The part about cheating death?? If you're from around here and watch the local news, you know to what I refer! Shot September 8 2013. My lady's birthday was Sept 5 so I brought her here! We were last here a week before 9/11-also for her birthday!! :) SURF'S UP!! (:
