This book covers 50 hikes in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia with hike sections divided by state. Readers will meet wild ponies on the Island Nature Trail in Chincoteague, Virginia and hike to the 35-foot-tall Turkey Point Lighthouse that dates back to 1833 at Elk Neck State Park in Maryland for inspiring views across the Chesapeake Bay from atop a 100-foot-bluff. Hikes will highlight birding and wildlife viewing hotspots, local history and heritage, and bucket-list outdoor gems.

My life developed according to a promise I made to the lord when I was a young boy. When I was in the third grade at Snow Hill Elementary School, my homeroom teacher said one day if I wanted to be an artist, I would have an easy life. I was a boy working in my dad’s mill lifting and moving one hundred pound bags of feed and grain. I was accustomed to hard work. After work each day, I would walk the railroad tracks and pray to the Lord. I prayed to the Lord that if He would allow me to become a successful commercial artist and syndicated cartoonist, I would retire at the age of forty-five and serve him the rest of my life. In response to my praying and the promise, I believe the Lord gave me direction and circumstances that are guiding me even to this day.
