[Rebforever]

I like the part where the days are getting a little longer by March 7. We be able to see more stuff!!

 

[Old Bay]

Yeah, and hopefully the bitter cold will be past us by then, too.

VA Chapter of CivilWarTalk,
This is an absolutely fantastic idea!!! Truly taking a great forum one step further by joining with other members for a tour. A trip like this scheduled by the Pennsylvania group of members near Gettysburg would be splendid.
HINT! HINT!
A picnic lunch on the battlefield while discussing the history with forum friends...priceless! Anxious (and jealous) to see your report on your trip and some photos.

Been there; done that, MRB. In 2012, about 2o of us gathered there (including day trippers). The motel proprietor (Three Crowns) was kind enough to put all the overnighters in a row, so each evening the rooms would be emptied of chairs and the coolers would come out.

I see your join date was just last month, so you also missed the smaller one held last year.

Come on down and join us at Manassas?

I'd love to, but work schedule is a bit hectic through about Easter-time early this spring. Would be very tough to get away for more than a weekend day. Would prefer to spend more time than that to investigate your neck of the woods. A sincere Thank you for the invite! Rain check?

 

[Rebforever]

Just checking in here. Looks like cold is holding to us this winter. I had some things to do and ended up waiting for warmer weather. This stuff is never ending. Still so much to see here in Virginia!!

 

[Old Bay]

I've still got the 7th booked for the tour, but if this cold holds I suppose we should try another day. Will wait until a couple of days before hand, of course. I'll start looking at my calendar now...

 

[Drew]

It may be four or five degrees in Manassas this evening. This can't possibly keep up another two weeks!

 

[Old Bay]

A week away for the reschedule date. Forecast shows near 50 with no precipitation. That might as well be summer as cold as it's been around here.

 

[Lnwlf]

I really hope you guys can get this to come together. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate!

 

[Rebforever]

We deserve a between-blast weather!! But spring is really here, you know!!
