Blockhouse Conservation Park, MD. From River Rd. Peggy and I got out early. It was a comfortable 55 F when we started, or close to that. I ran Peggy's pace and that was good because I was concerned about feeling hurt in my calves yesterday. We headed toward Swain's lock, where I could use an toilet. We found a new bridge over Muddy Branch creek, and we found and explored on the way back, what seemed to be a new trail. The new trail disappeared after only a short way. Our run to this point was basically out and back, but Peggy had planned to do more. I decided to hold off since I could feel some pain in my right calf was we climbed back to the parking lot. Reading in the parking lot as I waited for Peggy, I learned how Civil War soldiers had stolen livestock and horses from people across the county, and how up to that time Thanksgiving hadn't been celebrated. The tradition seemed to come south with the northerners as various fall feasts were recorded.
