My
retirement seemed to happen at an awkward time.
Two of my doctors decided to relocate their practices to different parts
of the country at the same time I was shifting insurance provides and making a
complete change in lifestyle.
While I love
my new primary care providers, it’s that same thoroughness that drives me
crazy. My blood work was a little
different though not trending so she wanted me to get a test. Luckily Quest diagnostics is pretty well spread
out and there was one here in Frederick.
I did not make an appointment and was in and out in about 15 minutes – I
love efficient places!
Next it was
a trip to Dunkin Donuts to try to get Lori’s laptop up-and-running and once
again I had no success. It looks like we
may have to scrap her machine.
The major destination today was Catoctin Wildlife Preserve in Thurmont. 
From alligators to zebras, there are over 600 exotic animals in this 50-acre park.
The zoo contains natural ponds, lush landscaping, wandering “Ambass-zoo-dors”, eager to indulge inquisitive guests and interactive touch and feed opportunities. Catoctin Wildlife Preserve is supported by the Global Wildlife Trust whose mission is dedicated to broadening human understanding of the animal world. This is achieved through immersion in naturalistic habitat recreations and educational programs using live animals and instructional tools both on-site at Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and through presentations in the greater community. The zoo is well laid out but note that in the fall the Safari Tour is only on weekends and the Cafe is closed for the season.
The last time we were in Thurmont we went on the covered bridge tour. Since we only hit two of the three bridges we went in search of the third, the Roddy Road Bridge. Following the covered bridges signs got us there, though at times the signs are so far apart you wonder if you missed one. The Roddy road bridge, unlike the Utica and Loys Station, is height restricted but clearly marked with turn-arounds on both ends.
