Coming from La Plata, it is on the right shortly after the Charles County Police Training Facility.

Just looked it up and it's 10 miles from my house. So excited! :yahoo: Ok, ok, someone try to keep the new girl under control, huh????

You know what will happen if it rains, right? :cds:

Hey, I'd drive an hour to ride! I've driven 4 hours for a weekend get away that included about 8 hours of riding over the weekend.

I'm one of those desperate horse lovers without a horse! Hey, I even rode in the snow in Germany! Now the rain, well, we did have a covered area for the rain. But since I've ridden in a river, I suppose I could ride in the rain.

But I'm thinking a river in the summer and the rain in the fall are 2 totally different experiences. :killingme
