DC-area meet in mid-May

[froggie]

I've mentioned elsewhere that I wanted to hold another DC-area meet before I transfer.  Alas, my transfer is coming a lot sooner than previously expected...basically by the end of May.  So I'm now planning on a DC-area meet in mid-May.  May 19th is the most likely date.  I realize that, for some, this may conflict with the proposed Ohio meet, but this is the way it has to be.

Tour locations will include the 11th Street Bridge project and the Beltway HO/T lanes project.

Depending on when my store's inventory date is (it was supposed to be last week but w found out the day before that it was moved) I might be able to make it.

I can go to Dayton anytime, and I've had to miss the last several DC and Baltimore area meets. So I might be game. Any ideas on a location?

Also, any suggestions on possible lodging ideas and viable back routes to the meet location? I'd be amenable to spending the night in a location 2-3 hours away from the meet site and driving on in Saturday morning. For instance, stay in Staunton and take US 29 to the DC area.

I am looking for an excuse to get to DC and check out the Inter-County Connector, so I would have liked to attend this meet. But that is during the week when I will be in Slovakia. This is unfortunately a no-go for me.

I'm pretty much locked into being in town that weekend, but will likely have to be at another meeting starting at 5pm in Silver Spring.

I need to figure out what I am doing this summer before I can even attempt to answer this question because if I'm still doing dishes at Cracker Barrel my Saturdays are basically taken.

[1995hoo]

Can't answer until closer to then due to some probable family commitments.

[ruffnerr]

I can push the Dayton meet to a later weekend.

[Ian]

Unless something obscure comes up, I'll likely be able to attend.

[Alps]

I'm there. Good excuse to see my family in Annapolis.

[Takumi]

Looking at the calendar, the 19th is on an off weekend for me, so I should be able to make it.

[Ian]

Unless something obscure comes up, I'll likely be able to attend.

And I may have eaten my words. Just got word my dad might be working and mom has a doctors appointment on the 19th, so unless I can get a ride down there, I might not be able to make it.

[Duke87]

I am going to have to defer a decision on this until the date gets closer.

[yanksfan6129]

Maybe. Depends on the fund situation. I'll know by mid-April, probably.

I'm really saving for the Ottawa meet, though, and if I can only make 1 meet this summer that will be it (and that will be, because of two nights of lodging and meals and gas, also very expensive, limiting my ability to do other stuff).

[hbelkins]

I can push the Dayton meet to a later weekend.

I for one would  if that happened. Please consider it.

[CanesFan27]

We'll be competing in a Warrior Dash event in Charlotte that weekend.  We'll be up for the MS Walk on April 21st if you'd want to do a scouting trip that weekend.

[deathtopumpkins]

I actually might try and make this. I'll be done with school for the summer and hopefully would be able to take a day or two off work (wherever I end up working) to head down there. It would be a great opportunity to visit old friends in Virginia too, which is something I've been meaning to do.

[Takumi]

I'm still not 100% sure one way or another. I have the day off, as well as the following week, but the first half of the year's taxes on my house are due the week before, and the quarterly insurance on it is due not long after, so I may not be able to afford it. I'll confirm one way or another as the day approaches.

[akotchi]

I'm there. Good excuse to see my family in Annapolis.

I spent some of my high school years in Annapolis.  This would be a great excuse to get back down there.

[Laura]

I am in! The 19th is free and clear for me and is the best Saturday in May in my schedule.

[Duke87]

Moving my attendance status from "maybe" to "probably not", given that 1) this is just far enough away to require devoting both saturday and sunday to it, and 2) my girlfriend has established that she will not be coming to any road meets with me.

3) replace girlfriend as needed until 2) is false

[Takumi]

I'm back up to "probably", as my finances look a little better going forward. I'll be even more likely if someone wants to ride with me.

Unfortunently I can't make it to this one, the next weekend Steph and I will be in York\ Harrisburg for a week visiting family\ toy show and a good friend of mine is getting married on 6/2, but anytime that week if anyone wants to meet up with us like 2 months ago when we met up with Seth and Mike from MD roads in York, just give me a shot!

Or 3) replace girlfriend as needed until 4) girlfriend says she is OK with me traveling to road meets.
