Thanks for the comment, Chris. Yeah, we really enjoyed Adkins. I hope to explore it further in the future, when we have more time. We noticed the bugs in a few places, but it wasn’t as bad as many other parks I’ve been to.

Kris,
Nice post and great pics as usual. Glad you got to see Adkins, it’s a really cool place. Amy and I get to mix our hobbies when we go to Tuckahoe State Park to do astronomy observing with the Delmarva Stargazers, and we always make a side trip (or two) to Adkins during the day. The bugs are nasty in the summertime, though, but that’s generally true of that whole region.

Glad you enjoyed the post, Mark. Definitely check them out. It’s a great place to get out and walk around for an hour or two on the way to the beach.

Thanks for this great post, Kris. I’ve lived in Maryland off and on since I was eleven years old, and done much exploring, both with my parents growing up, and as an adult with my own wife and children, and had never heard of the Adkins Arboretum – especially ironic since I think we did once go to Tuckahoe State Park when I was a kid (not sure about that, actually – it just sounds familiar). I’ll definitely stop by the arboretum the next time I head towards or through the Eastern Shore.
