I grew up in maryland most of my life. Im 25 years old and i moved to go into the US Navy when i was 19. Marylands watershed played a big part in my growing up. I have many fond memories of the area. As well as many life lessons learned, Its where i learned to fish, pilot a power boat, I got my power boating license at YMCA camp letts. It is a shame the rivers have gotten so bad, they were is bad shape when i lived there but not this bad. guys please do your part to preserve the heratige that this area has and the outstanding beauty, I have lived many places in my life nothing touches the beauty of a sunset on the good old chesapeke bay.
