Sat morning peter and I headed out to Calvert cliffs. We drove forever, and finally arrived....to a parking lot. Unknown to us there was a choice of 4 different "hikes" to get to the beach, the shortest of which was two miles. It was 90 degrees and we were now hiking 2 miles. Luckily most of the trail was in the shade though.
We made it to the beach and I wanted to go to the right to search for shark teeth like i had read about, but peter wanted to go to the left to see if the fossils were in the cliffs (b/c i declared we weren't leaving without any fossils and he figured that would be the only place we'd find them). Turns out I was right and he was...well there were fossils on that side, but they were in this clay material that you really couldn't take home and preserve. I finally got us to go to the left and sure enough I found 2 shark teeth and one crocodile tooth (unicorn tooth according to leslie) and then the tide came in so I had to stop looking. I intend to go back and go directly to the left side and find more shark teeth :)

That sounds awesome! I want to go my next visit!
Oh. Calvert Cliffs hikes are a nightmare.
If you're pregnant with your 4th child.
And it's 90 degrees.
And you have a 3 year old and a 2 year old and a 10 month old.
And you didn't know that you'd have to walk 2 miles.
Needless to say, we haven't gone back yet.
I'll keep that in mind should I ever be in that place. It doesn't sound so swell.
