Me too.
Up for it, that is, and have another gathering later.
We would need a permit for site 10, though. Check this:
http://www.nps.gov/rocr/planyourvisit/permits.htm. Unfortunately the web
site indicates that one has to go to some DC government office in person to
get a permit.
So I'd be happy to offer my house if that's easier - I'll just clean up
whatever state of mess there is! (It's not actually that bad.) But no one
is to make comments about the state of the walls, if they are mid-project!
Unless, of course, you want to advance the project...
I am in Arlington, Virginia, not far from downtown. My neighbors would be
most amused to see a flock of vanagons arrive! And it would force me to
clean up the house some, which is always a good thing.
My driveway is also available for those who need to camp Friday night or
Saturday.
What's your preference - house or park?
Pot luck, I assume?
Joy
