to reach Pumphrey's and from there go-along the Ridge R'd we
made our way through the woods.  We soon came to a pretty
secluded spot and here we decided to stop for dinner.  We
frequently stopped on our way over the hillsides to admire the
pretty view spread out before us.  Our camp was close to a little
stream, here we got water for coffee.  After dinner we continued
our trip to P.  On this part of our trip, we got our prettiest view --
one across the county, the river visible, winding through its flood
plain, for a distance of several miles.  From P. we went out Annapolis
R'd to the Ridge R'd and from there to Church St.  We hoped to 
find Willows <s>on</s> along this road, Mr. F. having once noticed them there,
but they had been cut down.  Arrived at L's place we took
the path leading through it.  Here we met one of his men, the
fireman, a native of Charles Co.  He was very much pleased with
a specimen of Skunk Cabbage which Mr. W. had in his hand.
He thinks he can surely "do something with it in the greenhouse".
We went along Church St. to Curtis Bay.  It was along this 
street that we were pleased to find a few willows in full
bloom.  Arrived at Curtis Bay we proceeded to the car termius, on
our way finding Alder in bloom, and there took the car for home.
