No luck at Greenbelt after checking Artemesia this morning. Wish I had 
time to drive through BARC. Matt, thanks for other suggestions.

The main hangout was on the ballfields at the corner of Campus Drive and Rt. 1, but they sometimes used Fraternity Row and the large field directly across from there on the west side of Rt. 1.? Both of these locations are less than a mile from Lake Artemesia.
