John Brown's Buses, somewhere near Harper's Ferry WV, is Columbus Day
weekend.

And I'd put in a vote for not the weekend of the 21st, please!  If I'm in
the country, I have to go to an event in NY that weekend.  How about the
weekend of the 14th?

I'll second (or third, or fourth) all the suggestions that it be a campout,
not a day event.  Too far to drive for a day event!
