Depends on your definition of Scenic. Is driving around visiting Covered Bridges sound good? A number here in Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. Or talking of Pennsylvania, have you visited Gettysburg? It has a great visitor center and a noted driving tour.

Carefirst is a good bet here, most doctors take it. You won't find a lot of smaller allied health professionals taking it because their reimbursement rates are utterly abysmal. I actually have no issues getting my pick of specialists with my HMO because between Annapolis and Baltimore. There is a ton to choose from.

If you want some pretty country side/woods near by try driving around sykesville/eldersburg area or anywhere on Google maps that’s the green color is more likely to be a rural area which can be relaxing to drive by. Just watch for deer! I hit one unfortunately. Thankfully my car wasn’t too damaged.

This can happen when construction crews work on the water line, but when they hook it back up they do not properly flush the line. So that leaves a lot of stuff in there which should not be.

I had my PRV (pressure release valve) destroyed because of this. Non-soluble Dirt got stuck inside it, so it had to be replaced. I was going to force the county to pay but it just seemed like too many hopes to jump through.

Depends...you want rocks/mountains/forests and rugged nature? Go west. Want water/beach, go east over the bay bridge.

I know you said "drive" but C&O Canal and Great Falls is not too far and I really enjoyed walking around there. Offers a bit of both. You can hike along the Potomac but there's also a lot of rugged forest and rocky terrain around too.

The problem with this is that most of us either have kids or jobs that prevent us from going to these things, so even though they’re a minority the crazy people that show to these things disproportionally outnumber the actual parents who have kids in HoCo schools and support this type of inclusivity.

Is there a way to participate in this discussion from home? Not necessarily during the live event but perhaps send a letter or email afterwards?

My family and I moved from Miami to HoCo last June precisely to escape this kind of hate and anti-LGBTQ crusading happening in FL. HoCo being inclusive and diverse has always been one of the biggest selling points of this place for us (along with the schools)

If you go up and drive through Thurmont & the Catoctin Mountain/Cunningham Falls area, it's a really pretty drive, even in the winter.
