 They also had free bikes that you could use. Too bad they all had flat tires.

 We rode our bikes to the town of Ridge,MD  about 3 miles each way. 

 On the way back we stopped to have a beer and oysters at Courtney's. This is a step back in time. Mr. and Mrs. Courtney own and operate 12 months a year.   He catches the fish and oysters and she cooks them. Do not expect fast service, but the food and conversation was good.

 Rated number one by travel advisor, but there are only 3.

 The Dove is docked here. It is a replica of a boat that brought early settlers to this area in the 1600's.

 The first capital of Maryland was in St. Mary's city. Here you see one of the first kings.

 This is inside the capital building.
