Tour Pacific East Aquaculture - Dr. Mac - 12/9

Ok , time to bump this post. Here's a mapquest link for my Back road to the back road secret short cut. actually it's the only way i have gone, so i can't compare to the standard route of 13 south to 50 west to the Docs.

the way i have gone, because it looks shorter, is get off 13 south to Laurel, a quick slide through the nice little town and pick up the sharptown road west to MD 313 south. take that till it ends at rte 54 , then a 100 yards right to rte 50, cross 50 into mardela, and a left at the old church , i believe, to the doc.

it's a nice open country ride from laurel west and south. and we won't miss the mardela turn off, like some people have said they did coming west on 50.

anyone else familiar with this route? hmmm lets see if the link carries my zoom and slide.
 
Nope, it didnt. just the small map of mardela, so just ZOOM OUT to level 8 and drag the map to the lower left a little to get the big picture.
 
FYI for those considering the trip down this weekend.

We are really stock up right now, we have tons of coral colonies, frags, fish, clams, inverts, live rock, and anemones. Prices in-store are for the most part lower than online and I have some items available that are not online, for example our 20 for $99 frags, and lots of other frags are priced at $15 or $35 each. Small colonies start at $25 each and I have several hundred medium assorted LPS and Soft colonies that go as low as $49 each with 1 free when you buy 6. So, I think this is an excellent week to come down, lots of really nice stock and great prices.

Just a little teaser for those of you on the fence about making the trip:D
 
One more teaser for any folks into SPS corals, we have a new batch of Acros and other SPS corals from our Solomon Island farm. Exclusively for club members coming in this Saturday, 50% off on these beautiful maricultured corals!!!
 
Looks like I am going to need the credit card this weekend. I think that I am going to have to pass on the carpool since I have to go and pick my girlfriend up at her place. But I will meet you all down there at 11.

I really want to go now, I think I want to get another anemone haha. It seems I'm always sick before the trip? I was before the last time we went down. Luckily I'm mostly better by today. I'm hoping I can go, I'll let you all know if I can or not, And for those who offered to carpool, I believe I might have to take someone up on that offer if I go.
 
we will find room for yous guys if you need a ride. even if we have to take my rust bucket burban for a white knuckle ride. no radio, it's dirty, but it's got room and still running good. I guess we will sort out the ride pooling sat. morning at the meeting place. It's worth the trip just for the tour. i'm building a stand for my new frag tank now. so i guess i'm going for frags. I will just have to spread em out in some other tanks till its up and running.
 
Ok , since no one objected, it sounds like we will meet up at the Bear Library near rte 7 and rte 40 crossing, between 9 and 9:30 AM in the morning and form up our wagon train. we just need Mary to chime in anytime now and make it official. a few people here and some southern members are heading straight down on their own to meet up. so, who needs a ride. sounds like most of us have some room for friends and coolers.

check out the map for the short cut thru Laurel, sounds like we may be going that way. any luck with those radios to keep in touch for turns and pit stops?

Oh boy, we're almost there . and Pizza too!
 
i need a ride. Barb is going shopping with her mom(but she gave me a $200 allowance:) ) so ill have to drive the work van to meet up with everyone. and trust me the work van is nothing anyone would want to do a 2 hour drive in (including me)
 
OK folks, heres the deal. Lots of you must come Saturday, MUST. No, no, forget about corals now, its all about Pizza!! My wife is getting 4 big Pizzas and if you folks don't eat it all you know what happens don't you?? I EAT IT and get even fatter and then Mrs. Dr. Mac gets mad and then we all know what happens don't we:eek1: . So, let's just keep everyone happy and you folks clean up the pizza:D . Seriously though, looking forward to seeing you all Saturday!
 
As of right now, I cannot make it, maybe something will work out and I can. If not, I'll be pretty bummed haha, was thinking of spending part of my paycheck haha. I'll post again if Im not going.
 
Thanks for the heads up Chris. I hope you are getting over the cold. Just looking for a check in on rides and shares so we know who to look for at the library in the morning. does everyone know the bear library?

I just kicked the tires and lit the fires so it looks like i'm driving too. room for a couple plus coolers. and We got Chris of MBBUNA coming in need of a lift, he knows the secret back road route too. want a ride in a nice old burban? lets see, waiting to hear from Jonathan who was undecided and cramming for tests but would need a ride too.

anybody else checking in ?
 
I can't make it. I'm pretty much better from the cold, but my parents forgot it was this weekend and all that haha. I'll try and stop in some other time. Have a good time everyone!
 
Sorry to hear that guys. the Good Doctor has offered some nice specials for the club. and pizza!

well, just checked the map, 82 miles from the library at Governors square, where we meet at 9 AM, to Laurel DE. then a right on rte 24 thru laurel to 313 south to Mardela springs, another 15 miles or so hmmm? less than a 100.
