I know of this problem, Darius. The previous Saturday is the Montgomery County Winter Count and the Satturday before that one is the Prince George's Count and Harford County falls in there somewhere as well. My biggest concern is that the farther into February we get, the less likely that the winter goodies at Conowingo will still be hanging around. Here are some other dates to consider: January 3, 10 -- not doable January 17 -- potentially okay by me January 24 -- Prince George's Count January 31 -- Montgomery Count February 7 -- Howard Count February 14 -- again, potentially oaky by me, but getting pretty late, I think. Any reactions to these dates, Les, especially to January 17 and February 14? Norm =============== Norm Saunders Colesville, MD osprey@ari.net
