Are you sure about those coordinates?  They put me in New Jersey.

Maybe I typed inthe wrong coordinates.
  I rechecked my GPS way point And I read
  N39deg 31min,30sec
  W075deg,48min 17 sec
   These should put you a the parking lot.

  The boat launch is just on the southside (Left turn) of the "T" intersection.  The parking lot is a 1/10th of mile north Right turn)of the intersection.
  Once you get across the Rt 213 bridge over the C&D canal, Make a first right turn then follow the signs to the C&D museum.  Instead of a left towards the entrance at the "T"  make a right turn.

For the boat launch area off of RT 286 (1198? Bethel Rd), Chesapeake City, MD 21915), I get coordinates (approximate):
39°31'33.5"N, 75°48'21.6"W
You can copy/paste those coordinates into Google Maps or  www.gmap-pedometer.com and it should show you the map point. At the least, the map should be centered on that coordinate when you zoom in.

I suggest that postings to the Forum use the simplest format for longitude and latitude - signed decimal pairs to 4 places.
39.5259, -75.8060  for the above boat ramp
Entries of such pairs into Google and other online maps will give best results.

The use of degree, minute, second characters are difficult for most keyboards.

That may be true, but a copy and paste (no typing required) of the coordinates that I provided works--I always test before making an ass out of myself by posting something that won't work.  It worked in both of the mapping software that I stated.

What's more, if you paste the same coordinates into the address line of Firefox and press the [Enter] key or left-click the green arrow on the far right of the address bar, it'll show you the Google Map for those coordinates.

Bud, it looks like you're ride might get washed out. And, I was ready for a nice relatively flat ride on the Eastern Shore--planned to drive to Perryville and ride to the start down RT 40, then RT 213 for ~40 bonus miles.
