Directions 695 to I70 W to MD-29 South then onto rte 108 west towards Clarksville Go 5 mi, then turn Left onto Trotter Rd; go 1/2 mi to a gravel parking lot on the left. We'll meet there at NOON, and depart for the hike shortly thereafter. A short hike, but an easy and easily accesible one. Lunch afterwards is always a (definite) option. Last time we were here, we descended upon a pretty good Mexican place in Clarksville. There are no river crossings, aspreviously mentioned; howeevr, the ground WILL be wet and boggy. Wear boots. Waterproof/waterresitant boots are recommended. Fido, as long as he/she is leashed, and wll behaved (towards people and other dogs) is welcome. I'll be there with theusualy grey Mazda (look for the yakracks), and the usual -dogs., My cell is [masked].
