Shores in Southern Maryland

[Shutterbug]

Where is Elm's Beach, I've never heard of that.

It is south of the base on Rt. 235 several miles, off to the left (there is a sign). It's probably quite a hike for you since you are in LaPlata, but if you are bored it might be worth going. :shrug:

I had a marine orgasm once.

Enlisted or Officer?

Thirty Marine Samples...

Suggest breaking it into different environments.

Flowing rivers, Potomic, Patuxent, three samples from each in different locations.

Tidle Waters: Allens fresh, Wicomico, Solomons flats

Creeks: Cuckoled Creek, Back Creek,

St Georges Island: flow between the Potomic River and St. Inigoes.

Cedar Point, Point No Point

Corn Harbor

Entrance to Solomons

I use this tide chart to plan my walks along the beach...just pick a location.

that's perfect, thanks.

How about Allen's Fresh Run on RT 234 just south off of RT 301? Or maybe Chapel Point State Park just south of Port Tobacco? Both only a skip and a jump from La Plata.

Yeah maybe Chapel Point State Park, depending on how my luck goes at the other places. thanks.

Distance isn't a problem, I'm all over Southern Md, technically I'm from Dentsville but nobody really knows where that is. I'll add Elms Beach to the list though, anything's worth trying. thanks.

that's a very good idea, my professor would know that I tried extremely hard on this project if I ended up going to that many different environments and dividing it up like that. I'll think I'll try doing a mixture of settings and organisms. excellent suggestion.

Elm's Beach is located on Bay Forest Rd. 7.2 miles south of Great Mills Rd Rt 235 intersection (Gate 2 of Pax River). There is a tidal pool there (Briscoe's Pond) that has a huge flow rate during the tide changes. Dip a net during this flow and you will definitely get your 30 organisms. I did this with a two man seine net at a camp I attended when I was younger, plus I used to live down that way and spent a lot time all over the Elm's property.

That's one of the places I think I'll definitely go to now that you said that there's a lot of marine stuff. Thanks for the info.

You could wander down to Marshall Hall for collecting stuff from the Potomac. There is a path down to the river all the way past the old graveyard, you'd have access to the river and also a fresh that flows into it.

Follow Billingsley Road until you can't go any further, then hang a right. Cross over 210, and onto Marshall Hall road, you dead end right into Piscataway Park and Marshall Hall. Since you are in LaPlata it should not be that much of a hike for ya.

an old graveyard... that definitely catches my attention, I might go there for all the wrong reasons...that's sounds like a long drive but maybe I'll try it if I'm in Waldorf the next couple days. thank ya very much.
