After 5.0 miles, turn right onto SR 678 in small community of Waterlick. The recreation area will be on your left in about 3.5 miles. There are three entrances, about a half mile apart: Entrance to the group campground appears first, followed by the entrance to the day use area, and finally the entrance to the campground.
From I-66: Take Exit 6 (Front Royal) and proceed south on SR 340/522 for 1.3 miles until you come to a stoplight. Turn right onto VA 55 West for 5 miles to the small community of Waterlick.

We've 'arrived' ?…Is this new ?… Anyone ever notice this before ? (mostly rhetorical)

To all interested parties,

I'd sent an email to the kdonahue@fs.fed.us this am, asking for some basic info - will there be an open bar, band, dress code etc. - and got back an attachment that my Mac won't open.

Called the office just now and was informed that "Hey, it's friday afternoon! This place is a ghost town. Duh."

Seriously though, the person who answered the phone was a very pleasant woman and was able to read to me from a mailing that went out to 'volunteer cooperators' that the agenda would cover such things as volunteer agreements, district updates, new projects, draft forest plans, awards etc., etc.

Seems like a non-starter… from the start…unless you were already one of the 'starters'... not for us hoi palloi.

I do, however, request that my Intention-to-Attend be credited to my account.

just came back to check my spelling and decided that it wouldn't have been amiss to have added one of these, , after "polloi".
except, all my emoticons don't seem to be operational. - is supposed to be 'wink'.

that was way more complicated than it could've been… 'guess I could have just said what I meant to say and meant what I said I meant to say… something like that.

How'd the meeting go? I took a ride out on my motorcycle, but I couldn't find the exact location. I saw the placard at the day-use area, but I didn't see any obvious meetings starting up. It was a good day for a ride, anyway.

[deveil]

Yeah, similar for me, I couldn't find my way to go. well, similarly worded.
