Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge

18 & 19 April 2008

Someday, when I have time, I’ll come back and post the story of our visit to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) near Cambridge Maryland. In the meantime, I’ll share some images with you …

If he can squeeze through, so can I.

The Explorer makes an excellent observation platform.

On our way back home, we stopped at the nearby Spocott Windmill. It wasn’t in operation, but it afforded a nice photo op.

The windmill is typical of the grist post mills used in the 18th and 19th centuries to grind grain.
