Celtic Pride mentioned a 'tentative maybe' for a camping gatherering in Pocahontas SP in VA in May. I don't think anything is planned yet.

Camping would be great. Greenbrier State Park in Hagerstown
(actually between Hagerstown and Frederick) has camping and
several boxes. We took the family at the end of June and had a
great time. May might be too cold?

Would anyone be interested in this? A DC/MD/VA gather in MD?

a reality! It was my first event and I didn't expect to have soooo
much fun. I'm glad I hung out all day and joined in for the mystery
dinner afterwards. I'm glad I found a hobby with so many nice
people attached to it.
