U.S. 15 (Catochin Mountain Highway) Southbound Welcome Center Rest Area

10comments

I stopped here twice after work during my commute to take a quick smoke break. Both times I got cruised. Either I'm "lucky" or this place is very cruisy. The two MO's I observed: a guy wanders around the grassy area of the rest area and as you go back to your car, he follows. Since I wasn't hooking up I, didn't make any contact, but he got in his car and followed me for almost 40 miles, assuming I was leading him to some other spot. The other time I noticed a car parked across the lot, with its parking lights on. After my smoke, as I was walking back to my car, the car pulled up right next to mine. I wasn't crusing so I didn't make any effort to pursue it.

Best time
Early evenings.
Crowd
Guys driving nice cars.
Watch out
This kinda cruising sorta creeps me out.

The guide

Where exactly

First rest stop in Maryland, just south of the Pennsylvania State Line, traveling south on 11/15.

Cruisiest spot: Picnic area to the rear of the visitor center.

When to go

Early evenings.

Etiquette

Show up early evening, have a smoke by the rear picnic table.

Nudity: Haven't seen any.

Safety

This kinda cruising sorta creeps me out. You don't get a good look at anyone (although both cars were very nice). I was a little freaked out that the one guy tailed me pretty aggresively -- through my efforts to shake him at the next exit, and then through a U-turn once I got back on 11/15, and then nearly 40 miles into PA. I'm a good-looking guy but I'm not that hot. I suspect there's a high level of desperation here.

Yesterday around 5:00pm I was lucky to be there for peep stop not for cruising or hook up, a guy has been watching me and he is tall believe he is cruising, he drove a gold color Camry wish to see him again, wish to hook up with him. I was in a Red Volvo, if you see this posting let me know.

Hi IMME2001, we cant see your profile, I think there is a preference you need to choose that allows us to view it. Also, the scenic overlook near Frederick on 270 is cruisy, I was there one day and got action within mins.

Over the next couple of weeks I'll be traveling this often...I've stopped a few times already and can't seem to get anyone's attention....
