JUG BAY, MARYLAND

Rt. 4 Capital Beltway exit, head south/east on Rt. 4 for 8 miles (where you cross over U.S. Rt. 301), then 3 more miles south (into Anne Arundel County) on Rt. 4 to the "Plummer Lane" exit. Ignore all "Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary" signs and continue on Plummer Lane (which becomes Pindell Rd.) for 2.0 miles, making a hard right turn at 9 mailboxes. Take the paved "River Farm" road for a mile though the O' map terrain; after the road become dirt, look for parking in the field a bit before the house by Jug Bay. Start/finish at 38 degrees, 46.49 minutes north, 76 degrees, 42.05 minutes west.

Terrain info "The terrain is not unlike Patuxent River Park...no point is above 100 feet above sea level, and there are lots of flat, thick areas with a few nice open areas mixed in. The 1:7500 scale map field-checked about 9 years ago as an afterthought add-on (how's that for a disclaimer!) In the past year a few parts have been corrected, so that map quality is really irregular now!. Much of the darker green ("thick vegetation", not "fight" has gotten much better (but which parts??!) Hopefully there will be a good breeze off the Bay to keep away the dreaded deer flies which usually peak here the first weeks of June in, ahem, wet years! A carport will help shield us at the start/finish a bit if it rains."
