Wye are we doing this?
Meet Buster.
Buster runs the Wye Grist Mill with a little help from Rhonda Corder, who feeds him and keeps him in ice cubes when the dog days of summer come early.
Buster is 8.
He loves to explain how the mill was built in the 1600s. He'll go on and on about how the mill is powered by water from Wye Pond across the road.
And he may mention that flour from the Eastern Shore helped feed Gen. George Washington and his troops, earning the region the nickname, "Breadbasket of the American Revolution."
But mostly Buster wants to show you how he can field a thrown tennis ball in mid-air better than any Oriole outfielder.
Say hi to Buster and Rhonda on your Park Quest to Wye Oak State Park.
The oak is long gone — the victim of a 2002 storm.
But the dog and his miller are still standing.
Twenty-one Quests down and three to go tomorrow.
Buster and Rhonda Corder
