We have
exciting news! We have a new addition to our hiking crew. His name
is Sprocket. He is a seven-month-old otterhound that we recently
adopted. He will be accompanying us on many of our hikes. With that
in mind, we will add a Dog Friendly rating to our current rating system.
So many people like to take their dogs with them when they hike and it is
sometimes hard to know what places are good and if they even allow dogs.
Yesterday we went to Marshy Point Park located on the Chesapeake
Bay in Baltimore, Maryland. It is part of the Chesapeake Gateways
Network. A certain someone told us that this place would be a great place to find salamanders. Little information was available online prior to our visit but
when we got there, there were lots of trail maps and other information about
the park. The trails are all relatively short. Many have boardwalks
to give you the ability to see the bay and the Saltpeter and Dundee Creeks that
run through the park. One boardwalk ended abruptly with no ramp or steps
to get you back onto the ground except a ramp made out of haphazardly
placed 6"x2" boards.
