Norm left our trip report, but I have couple of questions for 
the folks who live in S. MD.

First, although we ate very well, we always have the darnest 
time finding a lunch spot in and around the area that is not 
fast food.  On both of our big trips we finally gave up and went 
back to Solomon's for lunch, although I do remember seeing a 
luncheonette type place in a remodeled movie theatre on our 
first trip.  May have been Leonardstown....hmmmm....maybe.  
Okay, so, can any of you help out with decent lunch stops that 
are not fast food and don't work on a two hour feed schedule?

My second question concerns the concentrations of waterfowl 
seen.  I have to admit that I expected larger quantities than 
were actually present.  Was this a tad to early for large groups 
of waterfowl?  Hunters scare them away?  Any other thoughts.  
Perhaps the groups move around alot?  We did see a nice group at 
Calvert Cliffs one day which were gone the next!  Sigh.....
