Walkabout With Wheels Blog: Southeast to Glen Burnie, Maryland

Why are Eric and I driving just one hour to Eastern Maryland? We have a date with history. I'll tell you more about that later.

The Walmart in Frederick is
just minutes from farm
country.

Oh Deer!!!!

Eagle Eyed Eric pointed out

this one sprinting across
a meadow.

Others will follow....

East... on Interstate 70/
US Route 40

This next pic is for people who think our motorhome is too wide for the road...

It's as wide as this

Greyhound Bus.

There's plenty of room in the twelve foot lane for the bus to safely travel.

Eric & I fuel up at

Falcon Fuel.

$2.39 per gallon for diesel is a good price. We paid $2.70 per gallon for diesel in Pennsylvania.

The awning over the pumps

is high enough to accomodate

our 12 foot plus motorhome.

I took this shot of a Peregrine
F alcon while the motorhome's
fuel tank was filling.

The gas station's name fits well with the local bird population.

I was happy to see a

rest area for Trucks.

Commercial truckers drive a specific number of hours, by law, and must leave the road to rest. Many businesses don't allow truckers to park in their parking lots. Maryland is aware of this and has made accommodations for the people who make sure Americans have access to the many items available in stores and the goods used in businesses across our country.

There is a traffic delay
for road work.

Oh Deer!!!

This White Tail Deer didn't

make it across the road.

Oh Deer!!!

A decoy Deer rides head
down strapped to the
back of a pickup truck.

Done with Deer.

A road crew fills patches

in the right lane.

Maryland has 70 mile
per hour speed limits
on sections of its roads.

This is a surprise to me. I thought all speed limits starting with a seven were in the western states.
