Great scenery and interesting history

We visited locations in Maryland we’ve never discovered before, even though we’ve lived in the DMV area a long time. There was a great mix of outdoor walks, history and cute eateries. Next time we do a Guess Where trip, we’ll be sure to leave early enough to take in the full itinerary plus optional stops. Thanks GW team!

Civil War

I found this to be too focused on the Civil War. Especially the early parts of this trip. And not enough "haunts". By the end of envelope #2 we were a bit bored. Did find a new place to eat. A little pricey but very good. I've already recommended that eatery. I have a grandson (currently stationed out of the area) who would have loved this adventure. I'm still glad I tried this trip and look forward to trying another.

Great stories!

Ive been to these areas before but never knew about these haunted stories. SO COOL. I hope they launch another haunted trip in the area. Can't wait to try another one.
