Squirrel,

You are welcome. Glad to hear of your plans to fill up Maryland. I
know Randy and John in PA will be happy about that, as well as your
locals.

I looked at a Jug Bay site on the map - what a beautiful spot.
Nothing is prettier than wetlands IMO. The Tiger Map serivce couldn't
locate either Lothian or Bristol. Can you give me the nearest
incorporated town to Jug Bay?

I think the dot for Wheaton Park on the _regional_ map is
essentially correct - a bit to the north of DC. I would prefer
not to put a separate dot for Wheaton on the _state_ map as that
would be crowding the DC dot a bit. Let me know if I'm
misinterpreting your comment above.

Thanks.

GNIS found Lothian, MD at 384954N, 0763642W. GNIS is yet another
wonderful American taxpayer financed tool that can locate just about
anything if its on a map. It never ceases to amaze me that you can
enter the name of some gulch that some prospector named 150 years ago,
and if its on a map, GNIS has a chance of finding it for you. Then
you're a few clicks away from a contour map or terraserver. Us clue
writers always have to stay one step ahead of the technology :-)

GNIS is at http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html if anyone is
interested.

Mabye it should say "DC Metro" or something. I dunno.

I apologize to everyone for sending files to the list which I had
meant to send only to Randy. I was careless with my address -
not for the first time, I'm afraid.
