Hi all. I stopped in for an hour. This place is going to be a hot spot in the 
spring. Its a great marsh for Cecil County and its right across the street from 
my neighborhood. Everything that comes North thru the upper Chesapeake 
and Elk River will end up coming thru this spot. Lots of good marsh grass and 
on low tide there are a few good mud flats. 
There was lots of activity today.
