Unless you run a large financial institution with credit cards, not sure there's much appeal to Delaware. I am impressed with their WMAs however. We hunted the Blackiston WMA near Smyrna and it was the best-managed property of the entire trip. Food plots, edges, berry tangles, trashy fields with good cover ... the state may not be very large, but they do huge things with the state lands for wildlife. We found plenty of deer sign, but unfortunately no birds for Kali.

I let Emil drive over the Bay Bridge spanning the Chesapeake Bay so he could experience a true white-knuckle driving experience. The bridge is long and high with narrow lanes and when the wind funnels up the bay from the Atlantic, it can be really hairy. Fortunately we traveled on a calm and pretty Fall afternoon, although I don't think he enjoyed it as much as me.
Stopped in Frederick, MD for the night and hunted up some crab cakes as our desired regional cuisine. Just down the road from the motel encountered a real gem - May's Restaurant. The family has run the business since the 50s, first as a service station and fish market, then as a restaurant beginning in the 90s. The crab cakes were loaded with crab rather than fillers and the soft-shells and flounder weren't too shabby either. Glad we didn't opt for the all-you-can-eat or we might still be there!

| That's a big ol' lump of crab! And the Flying Dog IPA brewed right there in Frederick was tasty too! |
