Thanks for the meeting post.

You're welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing about Franklin Point State Park. Maryland DNR bought that land in 1999 and retained it in 2005 after the county said it didn't want it.

The West Rhode Riverkeeper and a group of south county WAC volunteers have been doing a lot of heavy lifting helping DNR get ready to open it.

Hope you all have been getting out on the water.
