> Arlington County just opened a new park that is very conducive to rail & air
> scanning. Long Bridge park is at the very northern tip of Crystal City, and
> has a long elevated walkway that is just a few feet off the rail lines that
> head into the city. The park also looks directly down the barrel of DCA
> runway 15. It is across Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary from the GW Parkway
> and the other good place for air scanning (Gravelly Point park).

> You can actually get to Long Bridge very easily off of 395 -- you don't need
> to go into Crystal City to get there (heading northbound, take the GW
> parkway exit toward National, but on the exit ramp, watch carefully for a
> right hand turn before you get to the parkway). You can also get right back
> on 395 (either north of south) from the park. I went there yesterday and
> it's very nice. A good place for a bike, due to the length of the walkway.
> There are several brand new soccer fields there too. There is a large
> metered parking lot -- looks like you have to pay during business hours. I'm
> going to head back there with my handheld this weekend.
