[Kathy Bilton]

Message from Paul:

Hey I'll be there tomorrow at 9am, meeting at the Ranger Station, right 
off the Parkway. Coming from Maryland you hang a left (unmarked) and cross 
over the outgoing DC lanes. There is only 5% chance of precipitation 
beginning at 7am and ending by 10.  Lows about freezing so dress warm. 
Should be a good day.  ...Paul 301-412-4212 (cell)


NOTE: The meeting time is 9am.  (It had said 10am on the webpage.)
