another one this  Spring.

OK,  all you listeners, lurkers, shirkers and slackers, the last time any 
of us  tried to meet up was just over four years ago.  This park sounds like 
a  great place for the Second Quadrennial Scan-DC Get-Together, and this 
Sunday  the 27th seems like a good day for it with the nice weather we're  
having.  Let's try to meet there between noon and 1 p.m. - we have  several 
maybes and two or three of us who are in for sure.  So bring a  scanner and a 
(turkey!) sandwich, or the other way around, depending on your  priorities, 
check out Long Bridge Park, and meet other folks on the list  vis-a-vis, or 
hand-to-hand, as Deputy Barney Fife would say.

It sounds  like it's a pretty big place, so I'm not sure how we'll all meet 
up; guess  we'll figure something when we get there, unless anyone has any  
ideas.

Please post to the list if you're going, or think you  might.

I'm driving from Gaithersburg, can meet people somewhere there  and also 
maybe at Montgomery Mall and / or Carderock Park if anyone wants a  lift.

Hope to see lots of you there... I know it's pretty short notice,  so if 
this doesn't work out maybe we can pick a date in the spring and really  give 
it a big  push.

Regards,

Doug
