Welcome, I too am from Maryland. I am hoping those of us close enough, can have a gathering when the weather warms. So far, the closest place for a meet and greet is Quiet Water's Park in Annapolis. I purchased Ike from Breeder's in Sykesville. Not too far from you. I love this site and have found the members to be knowledgeable, humorous, and above all else, caring and empathetic. It's a good place to be. The moderators are a hoot too!!
