I'm not an early riser normally but today I felt like taking a ride around the area of the cabin. I stopped for a cup of coffee to drink along the way. It was foggy and a little cool for August but it turned out to be a pleasant ride. Gerry values her sleep too much to leave the cabin at such an early hour and remained behind catching some zzzzzzzzzs.
Our son Larry Jr. purchased this home in 2005 and did some remodeling to make it nicer. It had an old cistern on the left side of the house and a previous owner broke through the basement and cistern wall to make it accessible. It made a great wine cellar and was cool all the time. He sold the house for a nice profit shortly thereafter.
There was a violent wind storm that went through the area a few days ago and this is some of the damage to trees in the area. We used to camp at Owens Creek Campground in our popup tent camper and it was very close to this area. I rode through the campground and there were numerous old tall oak trees fallen, Glad we weren't there when that happened.
This really nice country church is just down the road from the campground about a mile or so. Camp David is on the mountain behind the church and all the tree damage.
Beautiful Maryland countryside with a nice dairy farm in view. I had noticed but there is a tractor with a front loader next to the barn. It was being used to pick up the huge bales of hay on the left of the photo,
The Western Maryland railroad trestle made room for only one car to travel through at a time. It's quite old and may have predated automobiles being popular like they are now.
There used to be a motel here with the log cabins being the motel rooms. The main office is long gone and the forest is reclaiming the cabins now. There are more cabins to the left of these but they are in very bad condition. The property is for sale if anyone is interested.
Beautiful view along Fish Hatchery road with the mist coming off the lake. It's a tree farm now and also has some horses roaming around. I'd like to have this view from my front porch,
Black Eyed Susans are the state flower of Maryland, but these are in Pennsylvania and thriving, They seem to need a lot of sunlight to grow and we don't have a lot of sunlight at the cabin.
This modernistic cabin was just down the road from the tree farm and had the nice view I wanted. It is small so I think it is a weekend home for people in the Washington/Baltimore area.
By this time I figured Gerry was awake and waiting for me to join her for breakfast, so off I went back to the cabin.
