[K3pzn-board] Gambrill Park sites

[Neeriemer, Bill (NIH/NLM/LHC)]

Folks-
 
There are 3 picnic shelters and the "tea room" at Gambrill State Park.
 
The picnic shelters have 4 tables, 2 grills, accomodate 35, and have 1
electric circuit.  The cost is $40.
 
All shelters have limited views.
 
Shelter #2:  AKA High Knob, Has water fountain nearby,  has view towards
Washington county.  Medium parking situation
 
Shelter #3:  AKA Middletown, Has water fountain nearby, has view towards
Middletown, and limited view towards Frederick.  Nearest crowds, Worst
parking.  Near Middletown overlook and hiking trails.
 
Shelter #4:  AKA Frederick, No water noticed.  Has trees blocking view
towards Frederick.  Powerlines nearby.  Most isolated.  Near Frederick
overlook.  Best parking.  Nearest swings, but they are still out of sight.
 
There are three sets of swings.  None are next to shelters.  All have park
benches for adult supervision.  I'm not sure how many members have children,
and so this may not be an issue.
 
Also, do we want to operate radios at the picnic?  If not, then views don't
matter as much.
 
There is only one reservation for a shelter on a Saturday in July so far, so
we can pretty much take our pick.
 
What dates do we want?
 
My inclination is Saturday July 16, at shelter #2.
 
What do you think?
