During our hike through Maryland, Candice and I saw many things. The ADT through Maryland was about 272 miles. The weather was very hot because the climate is hot summers and cold winters. Along those 272 miles we visited the highest point in Maryland. The highest point is Hoye- Crest on Backbone Mountain. It is about 3,360 feet above sea level. There were also other mountains we visited. Some of the rivers and lakes we passed were the Potomac River, Patapsco River, and the Susquehanna River. The Potomac River is considered the “Nation’s River” because it flows through the nations capital. The Patapsco River is about 35 miles long. The Susquehanna River is the sixteenth largest river in America. We also traveled along the coast of the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. It contained many of our favorite things to do such as, swimming, waterskiing, and fishing. We passed through many small towns and villages that contained farms. We visited the Martinak State Park where we saw the Baltimore Ravens football team camping. The Martinak State Park is bordered by the Choptank River and Watts Creek. As we were visiting there was saw a wide variety of plant and animal life. One of the animals we ran into was the State dog, Chesapeake Bay retriever. Some of our favorite things to do there was fish, boat and have picnics. We also visited other things like the C& O Canal, and the National Historic Park. Maryland is one of the funnest places we have ever visited. We would like to go back sometime and play the State’s Sport, Lacrosse.
