DESCRIPTION: (Wear appropriate clothing & bring water! Below are some special instructions: what to bring, relative difficulties, interesting features, and carpooling directions.)
Celebrate your independence by going for a hike. This moderately paced, relatively flat hike will take you to the Tri-State Mason-Dixon marker of the states of DE-MD-PA, at the lower western boundary of the arc of Delaware, where people would live and dispute their taxes because they didn’t know which state to pay. Meet 15-20 minutes in advance of the starting time so you can sign in, catch-up with your friends, and have round up. There will be an opportunity to get together and eat after.
