Who to call

Half the answers on this site end in "ring first" — a fee nobody publishes, hours that move, whether the restroom block is open yet. Here is every number I have, on one page, so you can call from the car.

Why so many are blank

Maryland DNR runs its Garrett County parks from a small number of offices rather than publishing a line per park, and most of the towns publish no number for their parks at all. Where I have one it came from the operator and it's on the record page with its date. Where I don't, this says so rather than printing a switchboard and calling it an answer.

If you know one — or ring one and find it's changed —that's the single most useful thing you can send me.

Send this to someone

Most people find this out the hard way, standing at a locked gate. Save someone the drive.
