Calling it in favor of Burke Lake. Start time will be at 1030 on Saturday the 23rd until whenever, rain or shine. Since we don't have a fixed spot, you can call me to find out where we will be at. PM me for my number.

I have a date with my pillow, and no that does not mean I'm a pillow humper, so I'd be clearing out around noon or so.

That said, if something funny is happening I'm sure you'll all get to see Ash trying to drag me home so I get some sleep before work that night!

I just thought we should probably make a list of what we needand list it in the first post and update as people answer up with what they will bring. That way everyone can see the list and roger up forwhat's still needed so we don't end up with 20 bowls of potato salad!

Ditto. I get off at 7:30am, and Arlington is almost two hours away.

Not to mention I think I need the slave cylinder in my clutch replaced... :cuss:

Oh, and I don't know where any of these places are. Some of the names are familiar, but that's it.

Well, I'd offer my apartment area, but there's nothing here but the buildings, and I just had someone overstay a welcome they didn't even have... :?

Did I miss the "North Virginia picnic" email? I thought this was an allVirginia event? That would make a place like Bear Creek Lake State Park a more central location.

Maybe next time....

State parks are great except for the ban on OC... :cuss:

Ahh, great point on the State Park issue, my bad,maybe I should have typed "a place NEAR Bear Creek Lake State Park" my real issue was the location of the area within theCommonwealth...;) Thanks for the correction...:)

I think this is going to be more of a NOVA meetup but everybody is welcome of course. I hope we can still do the statewide one.
