Very informative - great detail, photos, history. We will use it to plan an excursion. We learned so much. Thank you, Mary! Lynne & Ralph
What a great piece to highlight the many miles of trails and the natural beauty to take in! So inspiring! I appreciated the research and telling detail that fashioned such an interesting article. All of it was new to me, so thank you, Mary, for an article worth reading! We hope to use it to plan a trip!
Great article on an area I knew little about. The descriptions have inspired me to travel to the region and explore its history and natural beauty. I plan to use the article as a starting point.
Phenomenal photos and rich with information- a real contribution for travelers everywhere!
I never knew how much there is to explore via the Chesapeake Gateway! The NPS is a true gem of an organization in helping the nation preserve and make available to those wishing to have enriching experiences , especially for those of us living within a day's drive. Our heritage as seen through the lens of our county's natural beauty. I also must comment on the straight forward & engaging style the author, Mary, uses in her writing. Photos are fabulous too!
This article has inspired me to visit places in the Chesapeake Gateways region that I would not have previously been aware of or considered. I'd love to read and learn more about the thousands of years of human history and what better way to do that than to actually go see more of these beautiful waterways and trails. Thanks for a great read!
Inspiring piece -- excellent, detailed information. Already planning a visit to see the Sultana!
Thank you for this informative article. It serves as a travel guide as well as a historical reference to the area. I hope to use to plan an excursion. Beautiful photography too
What an inspiring model, to identify gateways of different types to highlight and teach about the natural and human features of watersheds. I hope to visit these sites some day and would love to see similar efforts made in watersheds like the Brandywine, Delaware, and Wissahickon where I live and work.
This was fascinating. It offers a very useful and informative introduction to the Chesapeake Gateways sites. I can't wait to visit!
Wonderful and informative, a beautiful read - thanks so much and look forward to more Mary!
