Sugarloaf: The Mountain's History, Geology, and Natural LoreListen for the calls of nesting ravens and warblers, watch the growth of wild geranium and black cohosh, and savor the first autumn blush in the tupelo trees. Revel, as did Frank Lloyd Wright, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt among generations of other amateur naturalists in the remarkable natural, historical, and geological treasures of Sugarloaf, the Maryland Piedmont's only mountain.

Listen for the calls of nesting ravens and warblers, watch the growth of wild geranium and black cohosh, and savor the first autumn blush in the tupelo trees. Revel, as did Frank Lloyd Wright, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt--among generations of other amateur naturalists--in the remarkable natural, historical, and geological treasures of Sugarloaf, the Maryland Piedmont's only mountain.

A favored destination of nearly one-quarter million visitors each year, some 35 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., and 50 miles west of Baltimore, Sugarloaf is a National Natural Landmark and privately owned park that is open to the public year-round. In this natural history and guidebook, Melanie Choukas-Bradley presents a fascinating blend of local, natural, and historical detail that transports the reader simultaneously onto the slopes of today's mountain and into the region's past. Discover why prominent architects and real estate barons have found the land so compelling, why preservationists and botanists strive to protect the natural habitat of so many native species, and why families return again and again to hike, study flora and fauna, and picnic at Sugarloaf.

Choukas-Bradley lists practical information on how and when you might best enjoy a visit to the trails, wildflowers, and seasonal variations of the land. Her text is beautifully complemented by Tina Thieme Brown's pen-and-ink illustrations.

Highly recommend for pet owners looking to keep their dogs busy and happy!
Color: Grid Pattern
These interactive dog toys were a great surprise! My dog was instantly interested in the bouncing and vibrating movement, and it kept him entertained much longer than regular toys. I like that the balls are rechargeable and washable, which makes them easy to maintain after outdoor play. The automatic motion is fun and unpredictable enough to keep pets curious and active. Great value for a 2-pack, especially for energetic dogs that need extra stimulation during the day. Highly recommend for pet owners looking to keep their dogs busy and happy!

Must have for your doggy!
Color: Grid Pattern
This interactive dog toy ball is amazing! It moves and jumps automatically, which keeps my dog constantly engaged and excited. My dog loves chasing it around the house and never seems to get bored. The material feels very durable and holds up well even with strong chewing. It’s a great way to keep pets active and entertained. Definitely a fun and high-quality toy I would recommend!

Not a Tough Chew Toy for Large Dogs
Color: Grid Pattern
While these were quite entertaining for our golden retrievers, they lasted only about 30 minutes before they were destroyed. This is NOT a tough toy item.

These are cheaply made, and garbage, highly dangerous letting a dog chew on a battery pack
Color: Grid Pattern
These units are garbage. I got one for each of my dogs charged it up turned it on put it inside the rubberized ball shell and securely fastened it less than two minutes later my dog had taken it apart by just biting it and then started to chew on the battery and motor unit. So if you wanna have a lithium polymer fire in your house and potentially kill your animal, go ahead and get this, but if you do not want a fire in your house and you want your animal to live then absolutely do not buy this garbage it’s cheap we made and it’s not strong enough for any dog
