I think the motels are open all open but with volunteers you may need a reservation. Lots of the storm damage has been cleaned but a lot more to go. There is a new motel in Waldorf, just 7 miles north of where the tornado went through. I can check the name tomorrow when I get off of the bus and send you another message. I will also look at the De Lorme State map and give you coordinates. The ADC map of Charles County would be more detailed. Gwen and I will be doing the May count on Saturday, and a Big Day fund raising for the Conservancy for Charles County on Wednesday if the weather cooperates. We could get GPS coordinates for you when we find Yellow-throated Warblers. I think Gwen knows how to use that new toy. I also may do some scouting if I can get out of work. That would be Saturday and Sunday and on Tuesday. I will try to pin point traditional locations and habitats. I hope we can help. Regards.
