Great Meadow Public Night @ Great Meadow
Feb 22 @ 11:00 pm – Feb 23 @ 4:00 am

The Great Meadow public observing session is a go.  Because the field is too

wet to drive on, THE LOCATION FOR TONIGHT’S OBSERVING WILL BE IN THE GRAVEL

PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE STADIUM.  When you enter at the main gate,

immediately turn right and go 1/10th of a mile and turn left into the

parking lot.  I will have signs up on how to get there.  The session is from

6 to 11 pm.

 

Hope you can come out and join us!

 

Directions

Via I-66 West from DC – The exit from I-66 is exit 31 (The Plains exit; 9

miles past Haymarket), left turn (head south) onto HW 245 (Old Tavern Road).

Go approximately 1.9 miles to the Pass Gate entrance on the left side. The

Pass Gate entrance is across the road from where Old Winchester Road

intersects Old Tavern Road. If you intersect HW 17 you have gone too far.

When you enter at the main gate, immediately turn right and go 1/10th of a

mile and turn left into the parking lot.
