Another East Side Hike

I planned the hike, I organized the hike, I led the hike. The nice thing about the meetup site is you get to showcase other peoples pics. I guess you didn't think I could get any lazier!

St. Mary's College at Patapsco State Park - Ilchester, Maryland

I have no intention of rewriting history, especially when another site has done it so well. For a complete historical perspective of St. Mary's College at the Patapsco State Park, please click here for the StubbornLights write-up. To bring everyone up to date, in February of 2006, the fine State of Maryland mowed down what remains of the main school building because it was one big safety hazard. I can't find anywhere on the Internet to confirm or deny it, but from the looks of the signage around the property, it seems like most of the acreage is now part of our esteemed Patapsco State Park.

Here is my slide show of the way the property looks circa October 2008.

Southwest Area Park Map and Picturess of Herons- Baltimore County, Maryland

This little unpretentious park is one of my favorites. A boat ramp, a pond and an airport for tiny little planes. What's not to love?
