SOMEWHERE IN THE WOODS NORTH OF D.C., Md. — We made it back to the Patapsco Valley State Park this afternoon in time to explore further along the Campground Loop Trail to the River Ridge Trail.
Brought the Nikon along and snapped a few pics. May post more in the a.m. For now it is quiet time in the campground, and the moon is almost full.

At the bottom of the mountain we crossed the railroad tracks and Jefferson ran and jumped into the river. That dog loves the water. What can I say?

We hiked even further up the trail the next day, Thursday, and got more shots with the iPhone.

The union built a dam here once by the railroad tunnel. The people removed it in 2010: Glynn Wilson
