I will be coming to DC the week of 7 January, arriving Sunday night the 7th. I'm planning to stay down in the Old Town Alexandria area. I'm in town for a week long class for a particular certification that I'm after with the govn't. Right now I am planning to drive since I'll be heading up to South Jersey to the parents place Friday evening after class. The weather forecasts will dictate whether the Marauder gets to go, or will it be the Mariner.
I'll probably be available during the evening to rendevous for dinner or something if anybody is up to it.

I'd recommend The Chart House, One Cameron Street, Alexandria, VA (703) 684-5080 for dinner. Nice view. Great location. Good food.

Your timing of arrival late Sunday and departure Friday afternoon to head to NJ probably won't allow for a full CAM get together. But I am up for a dinner trip. Pick a day that's convenient. Any other CAM folks interested??

Hey! If your heading up to New Jersey then I would be happy to give you a ride after the meet? Beats flying:) Only differance between my marauder and 747 is 20,000 feet:)

Nope, that's over in Sterling/Ashburn, VA, kinda closer to Rt. 15.

There is Capitol City Brew Co in Shirlington, just off 395...

Sounds good to me. :up: Will have to confirm later as we get closer to January --

Will be running solo for this one since if I head south to pick up the wife first, it'll add at least an hour plus to the time. :(

OK -- who else is up for some fine seafood in Alexandria, VA?? :D

It's a good thing that you use a navigation system --- otherwise you'd never find us. :rofl:

There's a parking lot at the end of King Street near the river (about 400 feet from the Chart House). Another lot is at the end of Prince Street (about 3 blocks away). There are some other smaller lots in the area. Worst case is to park on the street along Union Street. I have done all three in the past. Monday night shouldn't be too bad ..... of course, I have been wrong before. :rofl:

That looks like a real nice place. I'd love to eat there at least once.... 4 hour drive one way for me though.

UPDATE: I have decided to fly into DC on Sunday evening instead of driving 1200 miles in the Mariner, don't want to take a chance with winter weather with the MM. I'll then fly up to Phila on Friday evening and visit with the parents and friends for a few days. Who knows, maybe I'll track down TheDealer also.

Just bringing this back to remind the CAM'rs that I'm still inbound next week to DC. Will be arriving Sunday evening and will be flying up to Philiadelphia Saturday morning the 13th.
Still looking forward to the Chart House Monday the 8th at 6:30PM.
Bluemarauder, I'll PM you with my cell phone number.

Unfortunately Monday may not be OK for me, Tues/Wed should be fine. If it changes I'll be there, if not I may not be able to make it.

Something things never work out :(

As the title says -- I have a meeting at the Loudoun County Sheriff's office Monday at 6:00-7:30 (I'm an Auxiliary Deputy). I'd be happy to drive down after that, if anyone is still going to be there. Please let me know (PM appreciated). Chart House is at the end of King, right?

Come on down Mark. I'll be meeting Jay at 6:30 PM at the Chart House. It's actually at the end of Cameron Street. But the parking is at the end of King Street. Will send you a PM.

Well, Bluerauder, Breadfan, Breadfan's friend Steve, and I had a great evening eating and talking about things at the Chart House. Stories, good food, and a great car to talk about,....what else is there? To all, I had a great time.

BIGJOGJIM, I have your number I'll try calling to set something up while I'm in South Jersey next week.

To the CAM, I am tentatively scheduled to be back out here the week of 18 FEB. Maybe we can try again.

Had a great time! Was one of the few times we get to have a mini-Marauder meet on a Monday night. :)

Was nice meeting Jay, and a good dinner with him, Charlie (Bluerauder), myself, and my roommate who although a Corvette owner has taken some good pics on Drag Days for us so we let him tag along as we gave Jay the CAM-welcome. ;)

Here's a few pics, from the left to right, Jay(Jabird56), Mike(Breadfan), Charlie(Bluerauder):

Jay,

It was great to finally meet you while you were here in town. You are welcome to join CAM at any of our gatherings. Was a very nice evening out to gather with folks who really appreciate the Marauder.

Got a call from Mark/N40GL while headed down I-95 after dropping you off. Seems his meeting ran late and he sends his regrets.

Thanks to Mike and Steve for remembering to bring the camera to the CAM Mini-Meet and catching the "traditional" hood opening and closing in the parking garage. :D
