Report: Another fine day to Carpe Diem, albeit 10 degrees colder than yesterday. Trying to keep the distance below 30, today's route was an abbreviated version of Ron's Tayloes Neck exploration, straight to Tayloes Neck on Ironsides and MD-6, down to the end of the peninsula and back with a diversion down Walters Landing for a photo op, then backtrack to King James Church, followed by Hancock Run and Adams Willet to Liverpool Point, back on Baptist Church to Ironsides and Friendship Landing Rd.
Nanjemoy is a quiet, off the beaten path, low-traffic area and Tayloes Neck makes the rest of Nanjemoy look like the Beltway at rush hour. We had a lunch break at King James Church (happily, this time the rest rooms were open) and then followed that up with a stop at the Nanjemoy Store for a snack before returning to Friendship Farm Park.
