hey guys just came back from a ride around the big knob of a mountain near
Emmittsburg Watershed towards Washington County and then back the lower route
thru Thurmont--looking for more places for the Uhler and Troxells who hide out
from Detour to Emmitsburg to Sabillasville. So do they go to Hagerstown by
chance? or did i just put a name of a troxell researcher with another genie
researcher? So what families do you research?
