You, elleng, already know how much I love Solomons Island!

The winter of 77-78 was very cold and much of the Patuxent River was frozen under the bridge. Enjoyed the years I was stationed at the Navy airbase. I enjoy your photos.

River froze one year since I've been here. I live @ the river, rent old house on my own little peninsula! Visit Solomons often; had 'lunch' in Lexington Park today.

Lived in Hagerstown for about 3 years, so passed through Frederick often.
