First stop: Check for trailer load security and then head across the Chesapeake Bay.....the little trailer added $7.00 to the toll! :(
After checking out Horn Point Aerodrome, we headed for Suicide Bridge in the little town of Hurlock MD. The restaurant is well-known in the region for its fantastic seafood, and we weren't disappointed!
Oysters on the half shell, soft shelled crabs stuffed with crab imperial and house ale.......Don't get any better than that!!.......
We spent the night at the airport....quiet & dark! Now it's time for breakfast!
All kinds of transportation available at the Fly-In......
On display: An 80 year-old Ford Model A, a 28 year-old Suzuki moped and a64 year-old biker..........All aging just like fine wine :)
All together, about 80 antique, vintage & classic aircraft arrived.
Twin-engined Air-Cam: open cockpit with fantastic visibility and incredible take-off & landing performance.
Brand new Kodiak turbine powered 8 passenger. This aircraft will be using College Park Airport 2-3 times a week in the near future. It's operated as a traffic plane. See what $1.2mil+ will get ya? :)
The Barth received its own share of gawking throughout the day, as we answered questions about it and invited folks to go inside and take a peek.
Sunday morning, after breakfast. Had the whole airport to ourselves again.

Miles & miles of wetlands. A 25 mile perimeter road takes you around. There are put-ins for kayaks/canoes every few miles and marked water trails. This is one place you wouldn't want to get disoriented - it would be tough to find your way out.......
On the way home we stopped at Kentmore Marina & Restaurant on Kent Island for some hard shell crabs.....On the way out we stopped along the shore to get this shot of the Bay Bridge........
A Super weekend!.......Old airplanes, great food & beverage, enjoyable company, new sights to see.......Life is Indeed Good !!.......
