 Fog on Route I-68 in Western
MD by grandmaR
Also you have fog in the mountains - either clouds come down and cover the top of the peaks so you go up into the fog or sometimes fog collects in the valleys so you go down into fog. Leave a Comment

Eating hard crabs is a Chesapeake Bay thing.
Several warnings connected with hard crabs.
1) If you don't know how to do it, it's a lot of work for very little food. You'd do better to get a crab cake where someone else has done the work. Or at least have some backup food while you are learning. Also, don't try to get the meat out of the crab legs (except the claws) like you do with lobster. The legs are too small and it's too much work.
2) Don't rub your eyes when you are eating hard crabs. You will get Old Bay seasoning in them which really smarts. Transferrring Old Bay from the outside of the crabs to the crab meat and your mouth is a required (and inescapable) part of the experience. But while it is good to eat, it's not good for your eyes.
3) Hard crabs have become expensive - the last price I was quoted (Aug 04) was $32/dozen.
4) The menu pictured is from the Drift Inn which is the oldest crab house in St. Mary's County. The menu is a single page. Don't come unless you want to eat crabs. Leave a Comment

Baltimore is a big city.
Be properly cautious, avoid walking by yourself especially at night, park in lighted areas.
I went to graduate school at University of Maryland at Baltimore, very near the inner harbor area (the best places to visit are there). I never had any problems other than finding parking in the student areas! Leave a Comment

Just a warning...Maryland is on the east coast and so in the summer it can be SOOO hot and humid. Too, dure to recent economic prosperity(pre-9/11), Maryland has been booming, therefore that translates into traffic. So if driving on the Beltway or on I-95 use caution cause they can be congested.

Like any City, Baltimore has typical street crime, though the locals told me it is higher risk here than other large Cities. I found it fairly safe though a more intimidating atmosphere exists at night. Leave a Comment
