how late are you there tonite??? Wanna do some soldering...? My eyes are worse than I thought, and i can't see real well when doing small stuff.

[bostonbruins40]

Sorry I was there Sunday and will be there next Sunday as well. If you need a hand soldering let me know I can definatly help with that.

BigSki how many batts do take when you go to gun powder? I think I would like to try that one Saturday afternoon. How far from Millersville? 45 mins?

[BigSki]

I just moved up to axle mounted saddle battery packs, but I'd guess since the parking lot isn't exactly right next to the rocks, I'd bring as many batt packs as possible.

As far as drive time goes, I'd guess around 45-60 minutes. Mapquest it to be sure. I don't think there's an address, but look for Perry Hall on Belair rd. You go I-95 to I-695 West ( left hand exit towards Towson) Belair Rd is the first exit, you go north on Belair Rd. It's probably 15 minutes once you get on Belair Rd. I'm going to be at the BBQ festival in Bel Air on Saturday. I f I wasn't, I'd meet up with you and do some crawling.

Ok cool I will check out the directions. I may hold off until the week after as I may want to change up some of my parts like moving to lipos on front axel so we may still be able to meet up the following week I may check out Patapsco park this Saturday.

Any one up for Patapsco this Saturday?

I usually ride my Mt Bike back there, and there's always lots of folks out on the rocks swimminbg in the water. It's about a 1/2 mile hike from the parking lot, but well worth it.

I will be coming to Baltimore at the end of Sept and early Oct.....can you please provide me detail on where this location is? The trip will be days full of work....but afternoon/evenings open for crawling. Thanks in advance.

Look at google for 'Perry Hall, MD' ( I'm not sure of the zip code). When you find the map, look for RT 1. It will probably be called BelAir RD. Follow the map north, you will see the GunPowder State Park on the map. There's a big parking lot off to the right side of the road as you travel north. At the far end of the lot is the trail head, you want to hike eastward. The trail only goes east and west. You will have to cross a small, almost non -existant stream. ( the water level has dropped to almost nothing over the past 5 years) It's almost impossible to get your feet wet when crossing over, that's how low the water level is.

Continue hiking on the trail about another 1/4 mile, you will see the rock gardens, then when you see the water, you will see the boulder field. You will pass lots of people walking their dogs and kids, it's a very popular spot to visit. It's practically impossible to get lost, the trail is very well defined and marked.

I'll head out there soon for a bike ride, now that the weather has improved, and click off some pics of the area.( the hot and humid summer weather makes my asthma flare up so bad, I can barely walk. Riding a bike would probably kill me) I'll post them on this thread.

I'm out that way at the patapsco flea market every other weekend.There's rocks out there?lol It seems to be all city where I go.

[bostonbruins40]

Yes there are rocks there I used to do a lot of fishing there remember walking over plenty of rocks just have to scout some places to crawl. So right now I cant say how good anything is in there. Besides there are several parks off the Patapsco I havent been to them all.
