Folk, I am feeling kinda bad with all these messages.
I started something, and now its bigger than I am.

I slacked off last year because I found I was spending
too much time worrying about the party, being the host
and not enough looking at buses. But where there is a
will there is a way.

Now its pretty late, with only one weekend before
Xmas, so one option would be to do it next Saturday,
December 16 at 1PM. There are some pretty good
parking/picnic areas in nearby Rock Creek Park, half
way between my house and Derek's. I don't think
permits are required, but if the cops run us off we
can always head over to my place as a back up, its not
much more than a mile away.

Put this into Google maps search:
beach dr nw and sherrill dr nw, washington DC

On Saturday you can only  approach this from the south
on Beach Drive via Military Road, because all the
other roads/directions are closed for cycling and the
like. From Beach Drive and Sherrill head north until
you come to the place where the road is gated, and
turn right into a pretty decent sized parking lot.

What do you think?
