So, I read her piece on the Maryland Park Quest yesterday, blogged about it and then had an idea – what if I could meet her while she was in Garrett County? Well, I sent her a quick email, she liked the idea and we just finished meeting at the Deep Creek Lake Discovery Center. Candy Thomson, the ‘Outdoors Girl’, is in Garrett County for the Maryland Park Quest ‘marathon’ of 24 state parks in 7 days. She’s done with 3 and on her way to New Germany State Park next, hoping to finish up the day at Rocky Gap.
She camped last night at Swallow Falls and hit the Garrett County park trail at 7am. Next, off to Herrington Manor and then…Deep Creek Lake State Park. It worked out perfectly to meet her at the Deep Creek Lake Discovery Center – where she was greeted to a hero’s welcome by the staff and Patty Manown Mash. You could tell they were all following her quest (and they are all readers of the ‘I Love Deep Creek’ blog, too, apparently – thanks for the great comments!)
She promised to be up again for the black bear hunt in October, and I agreed to attend, as well! She says she loves it up here and loves coming back!
Without wanting to hold her up from the rest of her Quest, she smiled for a quick photo in front of the lake, and was off to New Germany…good luck, Candy!
