Destination DelMarVa

A Thank You Letter

2011-08-29T14:26:00.000-04:00

February 18, 2009

To Whom It May Concern:

I met Mr. Stanley Shedaker of Adrenaline High at a Maryland Recreation and Park Association conference in 2007. Since I am always looking for speakers for my Explorations Unlimited program (speaker series designed for senior citizens but open to all), I asked if he would be willing to be one of my guest speakers and he agreed. In January 2008, Mr. Shedaker came to the Greenbelt Community Center to speak to speak at the Exploration Unlimited speaker series. He gave a slide presentation about kayaking and all the possibilities of combining kayaking, biking and camping with his company, Adrenaline High. All those who attended this presentation were senior citizens. Those who were present thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and were ready to try kayaking for themselves.

The Greenbelt Senior Center holds an annual outdoor senior picnic and in 2008 the picnic was held at our own Buddy Attick Lake Park. After Mr. Shedaker’s presentation, I asked if he would be able to join us at our picnic, bringing his tandem kayaks, to let the seniors experience kayaking in their own back yard. He agreed. We had about 30 senior citizens and a couple of younger individuals with disabilities come to the picnic and they had the opportunity to kayak on our lake. This was so well accepted and enjoyed by all, that we have invited Adrenaline High back again for this year’s picnic in May.

Because the senior citizens had been introduced to kayaking in a safe, non-threatening environment, they were all excited about trying it on the Eastern Shore. A kayaking trip on the Eastern Shore with Adrenaline High as our guide was planned and this trip took place in September, 2008.

Working with many senior citizens who are in their seventies and eighties, I was uncertain if I would be able to get enough interest for a kayaking trip, so I opened the trip to those eight and above (children had to be accompanied by an adult). I was quite surprised that half of those attended were in fact senior citizens. Of the 14 individuals attending we had one nine year old, two individuals in their thirties, three individuals in their forties, one fifty year old, one 67 year old, five individuals in their seventies, and one who was 81. The trip was so well received that individuals are asking when we will be going back. I’m currently planning another trip.

The kayaking trip on the Manokin River and Jones Creek was wonderful and the food following our kayaking was exceptional. Adrenaline High was very attentive to all the participants and their guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. We are looking forward to our next trip with Adrenaline High.

I have to admit that first having a presentation about kayaking, then being able to experience with it close to home were both great opportunities to introduce the senior citizens to a new experience. This relieved their fear of kayaking and many were quite enthusiastic about kayaking more. Traveling to the Eastern Shore and having Adrenaline High offer us such an enjoyable trip was indeed memorable and worth repeating.

If anyone else is wondering how to get over the fear and uncertainty of kayaking, particularly for older adults, I strongly recommend doing as I did, have a presentation first, then a hands on demonstration and finally a trip. You’ll be surprised at the response you’ll get.

Sincerely,

Karen Haseley, CTRS

White Haven Bed and Breakfast

2011-03-18T12:00:00.000-04:00

In 1995, the 19th century Whitehaven Hotel was saved from the wrecking ball through the cooperative efforts of local residents, the Maryland Historic trust and by those captivated by its charming location in a riverfront Eastern Shore village at the Whitehaven ferry, minutes from the Chesapeake Bay. The Hotel, now one of the last of its kind, provided lodging for travelers crossing the Wicomico by horse to Quantico, Salisbury and Princess Anne and by steamship to ports as far as Baltimore.

The Hotel is nestled on the shore of the Wicomico River and is about 25 minutes outside Salisbury, MD. Please refer to our Contact Us page for location details, driving directions and Ferry hours. Other Eastern Shore attractions such as Ocean City, Chincoteague Island and the Assateague National Seashore are also short drives away.

The Hotel has eight guest rooms. All Hotel rooms have private baths, two have access to the second floor screened porch and two have working fireplaces. Two kayaks are available at no additional cost for guests. Room with a View, a gift shop offering one-of-a kind, hand made Eastern Shore crafts, is open on the first floor of the Hotel (Shop is open Wednesday through Sunday). Boaters: hotel guests may dock at the Hotel's dock. Gift certificates available.

They took over an old grocery store on Bi-State Blvd in Delmar just a few miles north of Salisbury, MD. With a passion for creating great beers, they are on an adventure of beer evolution!

The excellence of our beers is the result of our pursuit of extreme quality and resourceful experimentation. We sell various beers at the brewery in Growlers. Because we want you to recycle (and drink more beer!) we will fill you up for just the cost of the beer each time you bring back the empty growler. We hope you will bring your growler back clean so we can get you set up for your next tasting adventure.

Fenwick Wine Cellars

There is a certain sense of unparalleled fulfillment and purpose that comes from seeing the fruits of one’s labors literally grown from the ground up. This is the driving force that would propel Adrian Mobilia back to his roots, and inspire he and his wife, Shannon, to open Fenwick Wine Cellars.
Mobilia is a fourth generation farmer, growing up on the shores of Lake Erie, an area of Pennsylvania rich in the traditions of agriculture. He was raised on his family’s 200-acre farm that consisted mainly of different varieties of grapes, apples, cherries, and peaches. Mobilia learned the family trade early, and enjoyed it so much, that he would continue on to study horticulture at Penn State. When Mobilia left the farm for college in the mid 90’s, the family business was well on its way to what would become the next successful venture. In 1980, they had already begun pressing their own grapes, and by 1989, the juice was going direct to wineries. The wheels were then set into motion for the Mobilia family to open their own winery.

Working alongside his father Nick, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Chambourcin, Pinot Grigio, and Merlot grapes, to the already existing varieties, Adrian Mobilia helped the family winery come to fruition. In 1999 the first bottle of the Mobilia family winery was produced, bottled as Arrowhead Wine Cellars. The winery added another facet to the already existing strong family legacy of farming. At Fenwick Wine Cellars, the roots do indeed run deep. The Mobilia’s invite you in, to be a part of something that has been grown for generations, from the ground up.

Thinking of buying a new bicycle? One of your first choices, and not necessarily an easy one, will be where to shop. It can be a challenge because there are a myriad of stores that carry two-wheelers, from specialty retailers, to giant department stores, to backyard garage operations.

Where you buy, however, has everything to do with what you get. You see, bicycles aren't like toasters or suitcases. Bikes are shipped in boxes and they must be assembled and tuned.

There are many types, too, and you should never buy until you've figured out which is right for you. Measurements and adjustments are required to ensure the frame is the correct size and that the seat and handlebars are properly positioned. And, every new bicycle will need a minor tune-up after several weeks of use.

What's more, modern road and mountain bikes can travel at high speeds and carry you over demanding terrain where the machine's materials and construction get tested. A quality two-wheeler, carefully assembled and fit to you, will be the safest, most durable and fun bicycle to ride.

For these reasons, we strongly recommend shopping at a good specialty bicycle store in our area. For instance, we hire competent salespeople and expert mechanics who'll ensure that you get the right bike and a quality machine. Look for a store that's clean, has helpful personnel, offers a good selection, and an on-site repair department.

2010-12-13T16:55:00.000-05:00

Think you can paddle 16 miles? Well if you can't, we'll do a couple miles, then take you to the 16 Mile Brewery in Georgetown, Delaware.

Discover the 16 Mile Tradition

From the coastal beaches of Delaware to Maryland's Eastern Shore, residents and visitors alike are discovering the latest local tradition - 16 Mile Brewing Company. As Delaware's newest microbrewery, 16 Mile concentrates on creating full-bodied ales with the clean honest taste of hops and malted barley. Each hand-crafted recipe features smooth flavors, free from distracting additives and bitterness. The simple, yet distinctive tastes of 16 Mile ales truly complement the delicious flavors of Delmarva.

16 Mile Brewing Company is owned and operated by Chad Campbell and Brett McCrea, Delaware natives who understand that this area and its residents have a unique story to tell. From the selection of the company name to the innovative designs on its 100% aluminum bottles, 16 Mile salutes the rich history and heritage of Delaware. Look for familiar historical landmarks on its bottles of Amber Sun Ale, Old Court Ale, and Blues' Golden Ale.

16 Mile ales are available on draft and in bottles at restaurants, pubs and package stores throughout Delaware and the Eastern Shore. If you're a Sussex County resident or just passing through our great state, you are always welcome to visit the 16 Mile brewery. Look for the sign just one mile south of the circle in historic Georgetown. Come inside and sample the rugged simplicity of 16 Mile brews today.
