Due to closure of large portions of the Blackwater Wildlife Drive November
21-December 5 I am canceling the trip. Sorry for anyone looking forward to
it, it's out of my control and I lack sufficient time to figure out
alternatives.

Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Closing Portions of Wildlife Drive
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge will be resurfacing large portions of
the Wildlife Drive beginning November 21, 2012. The project is expected to
take approximately two weeks to complete. During this time refuge staff will
keep as much of the drive open to the public as possible. However, on Nov.
26th and Nov. 30th, due to the quota shotgun hunt, the entire Wildlife Drive
will be closed. Entrance fees will not be collected for the duration of the
closure. For project updates, please call 410-228-2677. We regret any
inconvenience this may cause.
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to
conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for
the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and
trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific
