• 9 Maryland Nature Spots That Feel Completely Undiscovered (myfamilytravels.com) — One of Maryland’s quietest nature escapes sits right in Jefferson at Gathland State Park, where mountain views, stone memorials, and Appalachian-linked trails create a reflective, slightly mysterious atmosphere. A statewide roundup of nine under-the-radar parks praises this Jefferson spot for its ridge-top wind, historic War Correspondents Arch, and uncrowded paths. It’s framed as a place that quietly rewards slow wandering over flashy scenery.
   

• Changes coming to Frederick County transit system (fredericknewspost.com) — Jefferson riders who use the Brunswick–Jefferson Shuttle will see Saturday trips now include a Guilford Drive Walmart stop, alongside broader schedule tweaks across Frederick County Transit. Connector routes are being reworked, Saturday service is aligning with weekday schedules, and rural shuttles gain weekend options. Officials say the changes follow two years of data analysis and community feedback, and they’re still inviting rider comments.
