Today is a beautiful day. Now I love working on the Cuddly Dog stories, but sometimes you need to get away. This particular time of year offers a great opportunity to see the leaves changing.
My personal favorites, here, in the state of Maryland are any of the Civil War sites. Mainly, the reason is that the Park Service keeps these areas very serene and tranquil. And since Maryland was deep in the War, there are wide stretches of land that are beautiful to this day.

Route I-70 - It leads from Baltimore to Frederick. It is a straight shot practically across Maryland for a good Hour. There are some rest stops and eating areas, not more than twenty minutes apart, but mostly beautiful trees and leaves and countryside.
Route 97 to Gettysburg - This route, which was taught to me by very humble, but resourceful, Carpenters, is on what I consider a lost road. The best way to get to it is to head West on 795 towards Owings Mills. Keep going until you see 140 west at Exit 9A (I-think) this will take you through Westminster on a straight road. As you leave Westminster, you'll see a sign for Gettsyburg 97 on a three-town-sign...there should be a Roy Rogers on the right.
Its a great country road through the Maryland/Pennsylvania farmlands. There is even a sign that seperates the North from the South...the Mason-Dixon Barrier sign.

As I said before, these roads are great for creativity and are some of the inspirations for the adventures of Cuddly Dog and his friends.
So, good-by for now, and be good to your family and friends.
