Subject: [BSW] Field Trip to Bear Island on Saturday, April 11 at 9am
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.20.2004092228270.45048@shell.xecu.net>

The second trip of the season to Bear Island will take place this 
Saturday.  The weather at this time is looking quite perfect.

Bear Island - C and O Canal - Mile 12.6 (Maryland) - Meet at 9:00 a.m. at 
the parking area across from Old Angler's Inn. The plan is for these trips 
to be led by the group members themselves, many of whom have been to this 
site a multitude of times over the past years.

People can contact Paul Peterson at 301-412-4212 if they are running late 
or need reassurance. We go for a hike even if raining!

And please remember to keep your distance!

Paul reports that the wildflowers which had made a very early appearance 
are still hanging on because of recent cooler weather.
