Nancy,
I think that we'll be at the inner harbor for about 4 hours.
These trips have a lot of logistics and planned walk around
times so that the bus drivers have time away from the wheel.
I've been to DC a couple of times BC (before caching) and
know the area enough to get around. My main job is to
chaparone the kids but if we "just happen" to walk by a
cache, I'm not going to be above signing it (or getting the
information to log it as a virtual). Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
