I believe we are having a kind of crab cook-off with recipies from different states.

JIM: I believe you to be very close to correct. My wife has a crab hat that she plans to bring and I, of course, have my crab shirt. No telling what other appropriate may be sported. This could turn into a fashion show of "heartland sorts". Could get interesting.

Leslie and I just spent a week camping near Ocean City, MD at the Island Resort Family Campground (http://islandresort.org/) near Berlin MD. While there we dined at two locations. One was a down-home cooking place called Goobers (16 Pitts St, Berlin, MD 21811-1128, (410) 641-0366). We had breakfast there and encourage anyone that wants to visit a great place to eat to go there, then walk about the historic area of Berlin MD. It was a great place to see. The other place we dined was the Captain's Galley II located at 12817 Harbor Road, Ocean City, MD, 21842 (http://www.captainsgalley2.com/). They are known for the number one crab cake in that world. Although I am unsure about the validity of that claim, we had, by far, one of the best crab cake sandwiches we have ever had. We had it on a toasted, home-made Kaiser roll with Swiss cheese melted on half of the roll. It had minimal filler and lots of Maryland crab meat - an excellent sandwich. You should put these two places on your list of places to go during the weekend. The Captain's Galley is a pretty big place, but Goobers has a maximum of 50 seats, so if a large number go there for breakfast, we need to provide them a courtesy call as a heads-up. Enjoy!

Anyone interested in the current condition of Castaways due to the storm check out Castaways Web Cam. Although it is deserted it looks like they faired pretty good!

 

[Jim & Harriet]

Was pleasantly surprised by the webcam view. We here are all looking forward to
our trip to the shore!

Sorry guys but we are going to have to cancel this rally....we have a few things going on...but the biggest one is that I have to work...couldn't find anyone to work for me who wasn't already working...I can't even get off 1/2 day. It's a big drive if I can't at least get Friday off. We are just back to school and these first 3 weeks are horrendously busy.

Our house is on the market and we are making trips to DE to househunt. We have an offer coming through any moment and pray that it's a great offer so we can accept. Then for sure our weekend will be spent focused on everything having to do with finding a house/moving.

Sorry to miss the first MD rally but I will see a lot of you folks the following week in Hershey...so all is not lost!! Have a wonderful time!!!

Mike I still would like the tees...so just bring them to Hershey...thanks!

The cg was not badly damaged by Irene and is open for business today. Yoohoo The pool will be open tomorrow so we are in good shape for our rally which is shaping up to be a good one! So sorry you won't be joining us. We will keep our fingers crossed on the contract for your house and we'll definitely see ya in Hershey.

 

[dieselsweetheart]

Ya I called them this morning and got a recording they wouldn't be in until 2p...so I'll give them a call later today. When I booked I never imagined we would have so much going on for us at this time!!

 

[camperjohn08]

Unfortunitly, we are not going to be able to bring the rig this time as the DW has to work the full week... however, we are in discussions with John Latem and his DW and if we can pull it off, we will be riding up on the bikes to see you guys Saturday for the day. More to come...

Hey who's this Latem person?? My Name is spelled John Latham.. I wonder who he was? Ha Ha.. And yes I will be the other couple riding the bike If it works out.. : o ))

Re: Maryland Rally

Is it too late to add one more for crabs? If not, total would be two. Thanks much.

No problem now it is two.

Re: Maryland Rally

This is a fitting end to a rather dismal camping year. Deb & I will not be able to attend as I have been called up by FEMA to attend training (9/3 - 9/11) in preparation for being deployed for 90+ days in the aftermath of IRENE.

Pete & Deb, We are sorry you guys will miss the rally at least you had a chance to see the campground a couple of weeks ago. You will be missed and I just printed off some parking score sheets. Hope everything works out with your deployment.

Re: Maryland Rally

Dick, The Crabs here on the Creek are Fat and Happy , We had 2 doz. in out pots in 2 days . We have not heard of any problems with the Crabing , so we should be ok for the Rally as long as we dont run out of beer!!!
