> The walk winds through Baker Park.

> And, now the biggie -
> The biennial Mountain Club of Maryland Hike Across Maryland - Saturday,
> May 4, 0530-2030. Approx. 12-14 ops needed to cover different shifts at
> 10 checkpoints on the Appalachian Trail from Penn Mar to Harpers Ferry.
>  Public service events such as these provide us with an excellent
> opportunity to hone our tactical communication skills similar to the
> way we would operate during a real emergency. No experience is
> necessary nor is ARES/RACES membership required, just a ham license and
> a 2M HT or portable rig. For this event we will use the 147.060+ (PL 
> 123.0) MADXRA machine and associated Target system repeaters. Please 
> contact me if you can help with either or both of these events. Thanks.
