The Best in Tent Camping: Maryland by Evan L Balkan
Maryland's natural beauty can be fully experienced only by visiting, and what better way to do so than to pitch a tent in one of the varied locations Maryland has to offer: the Atlantic Ocean lies nearby, as do the Allegheny Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland is a camper's dream, and this valuable guide assists outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. Including a five-star rating system, detailed travel and contact information for each site, latitude and longitude coordinates, and regional maps, this guide is an incomparable resource for anyone roughing it in this beautiful state.
Evan Balkan's wanderlust was spawned in his international birthplace city of Washington, D.C., and brought him full circle back to the U.S. Atlantic seaboard and to his current home of Baltimore. From playing childhood geography games to, at age 17, exploring France, Italy, Monaco, and Switzerland, he went on to spend 20 years visiting some 25 countries on four continents. Now he says, as a husband and father, he has happily rediscovered what he calls the quirky and livable city of Baltimore. Here, he hikes, bikes, and kayaks in the metro area and, at least once per season, camps in the Appalachians of Western Maryland. Researching Walking Baltimore, he says, reminds me of the many wonderful urban spaces in Baltimore and how I lucky I am to live here. The author holds degrees from Towson, George Mason, and Johns Hopkins Universities and teaches writing at the Community College of Baltimore County. He is the author of five other books of nonfiction. They include 60 Hikes within 60 Miles of Baltimore and Best in Tent Camping: Maryland. With his wife and two daughters, he lives north of downtown Baltimore, in Towson, Maryland--Baltimore County's county seat.
