St. Clement’s Island State Park — Attraction in Maryland

I happened to visit on a rare day with free water taxi rides to the island which was neat. There were representatives from the county on the island providing various interpretive programs including an osprey nest viewing (from afar with a monocular), and a table with some native and non-native insects found locally and a couple people talking about them.

Great day at Appraisal Fair! Bill Curry from Hammer's Antiques appraised my items. Only 5 bucks per item donation to the museum. Phenomenal colonial 1600s museum of So Md heritage! Honorable mention to Dori Lear from Auction Appraisers as well! On a side note, as soon as I sell the treasures I had appraised, I will be buying that small island pictured here, a condo in Florida, one in the Bahamas, and a second home in Las Vegas! HELLO...
