Sep 24 Protest question: Can I pitch a Tent somewhere In DC

[Corey_Baker08]

and be safe if we cannot afford a hotel room. Is it something that alot of people will do? I have never been to DC and will have no transportation once I get down there.

since I have never been there, is it a safe place to pitch a tent for the night?

1. Just make sure to pitch that tent up W's .....

or make that Cheney's arse.

2. There are campgrounds in or around DC with public transportation

easily available to get you to the protest and back...

Hang on, and I will look for the links-

6. Is This within walking distance of the site of the rally

3. If you're talking campground,

the closest is Cherry Hill Campground. They have bus service that runs back/forth hourly to the metro. They allow tents at $36 per site and they have highspeed wireless internet connections. The website is

Last time we were there (2003), it was a nice clean park with decent bathhouses.

5. Greenbelt park allows camping

not sure about bus shuttles, but either metro or pg county transit runs by there. Any folks staying at cherry hill or greenbelt park, or in the greater greenbelt / college park area, I highly recommend town hall tavern on route 1. A truly wonderful and diverse dive bar.

4. I;m planning on camping on the mall. Apparently you can STAY there but you

arent allowed to "Sleep" there. So we're bringin sleeping bags and hangin out all night. you are welcome to join us.

8. Sleeping is a very dangerous, anit-government activity.

I'll PM you my cell number
