Subject: [Scan-DC] New place for rail & air scanning in Arlington
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.
