MD: Please Add Waypoint on MD 65

[mikeandkristie]

We visited Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, MD last weekend.  I noticed that there was no waypoint for its entrance off of MD 65.  Because of that, I specifically made sure we came down from Hagerstown on the second day so we could get the majority of the road by coming from both directions.  Could you add a waypoint for it at Dunker Church Road, which is the turn for the visitor center?  It would be between the MD34 and MonRd waypoints.

I agree that this point should be added.  I had said I thought the point should be added back in the CHM days after the Maryland routes had been added.  I thought the NPS entrance to Antietam National Battlefield was a significant point of interest that most travelers would use.  Tim disagreed and said most travelers would come from Haggerstown instead of Harpers Ferry and therefore use the existing point, which is the unsigned entrance.  Glad I'm not the only traveler that was confused by this who used the signed entrance by the visitor center instead of the unsigned one, as well as not being the only one to come in from the south.

Yes, we came through Harpers Ferry and then Shepardstown, WV and then over the river to Sharpsburg and then to the battlefield.  One reason was to go ahead and scope out our lunch location that I'd seen on Google Maps.

There is no specific maintainer for Maryland. I've added the waypoint. It will be in the HB with the next site update.
