The Great Blizzard of 2010 is spent and after a day of digging out I figured I'd get out of my "cabin" and restock my pantry with goods at Sam Walton's Country Store along the Monocacy River. I noticed Sam's handiwork with this small mountain range shown above that covers several acres. Three days ago, while doing some research for Brother Zack, I discovered that his (and Zetta's) 4th?-great grandfather Humberston Lyon was a constable and successful tobacco farmer here when it was called "Monocacy Hundred" in about 1735 -- before there was a Fredericktowne. He likely came here in the great Ulster immigration. I've no doubt Humberston saw tough winters too, but I'll bet he never saw anything like these little mountains.
