Hi Folks!
 
As Jeff Shenot mentioned in an earlier post, he, Matt Hafner and I spent  
Friday after work at Mt. Calvert.  This area is park of the M-NCPPC park  system 
and gives great views of the marsh at the confluence of Western Branch  and 
the Patuxent River.  It is opposite the north end of Jug Bay Park in  Anne 
Arundel county.  There are no facilities and the gate is locked at 6  PM.  Here's 
the list:
