[Rhodes22-list] Chesapeake gathering Memorial day ??

[R Orkin]

Duns cove is on Harris creek just north of Tilghman..Through Knapps Narrows
then north a little way
  I was talking to some friends who live in Claiborn this evening and they
also felt that the areas near Tilghman point (not to be confused with
Tilghman Island)  were very good spots
