Check out Forest Hill Park, Belle Island, and Pony Pasture to begin with. All great places to crawl and are all in Richmond. VARCOR holds comps at these locations. |

I created an account on VARCOR and posted the newbee introduction yesterday. I still don't have access to view the threads, How long does the 'approval' process take?

To get to the ballpark of the FHP GTG on Saturday (don't listen to that crazy crawldad dude about Belle Isle ), run a map for the intersection of W. 33rd St and Semmes Ave. We park right on 34st at the arrow, and from there you just walk down the hill through the woods to the creek.

Yea, no doubt on Belle Isle in the heat, which it is supposed to be 90 on Saturday. Lots of flat white rock with no shade equals no fun in my book.  FHP equals loads of shade.................and not 3 stories of stairs to conquer at the end of a hot day.
