Frustrated Ferrari!

I was heading west on MD SR 137 anxious to catch the evening "bite" on a local trout stream when I found myself behind a massive farm implement. It was travelling around 30 mph and taking up a lane and a half of one of the most fun-to-drive stretches of highway in the area. The stretch that I drive from Forest Hill to SR 83 winds and grind through rolling hills, farmers fields, horse farms and a couple of small towns.

Anyway, I was frustrated at my slow progress but the Ferrari owner heading eastbound must have had his heart in his throat as he swung his, I think, 355 around around the set of dirty and menacing discs intruding on his lane. I thought it was a shame he was stuck behind traffic with such a pretty stretch of road ahead of him. But I suppose he could have made short work of them if he chose to!

 

Doesn't sound like it. This was around Monkton at about 500. ( I fished the Gunpowder, west of 83) I best Rocks is a nice drive though. It's got to be tempting to take a chance in those tight, rocky, twisty bits.

 

That's the spot. It's Masemore Road. I was amazed the first time I saw that the road choked down to a single lane, passed in front of the old stone house's front door and then did a nearly 90 degree turn around the corner of the house.

Here's the view about 1/4 upstream.
