Rod noted that the mileage for the June 20th trip was off. The distance
down Indian Head Highway to Bryan's Rd. is less than 15 miles, not the 22
miles that was stated in the directions. (Thanks to Jordan and Roy for
catching this.)

Also - you may wish to have waterproof footwear. It shouldn't be nearly
as wet as the Mattawoman Creek area though.

Details are on the fieldtrips page.
