[Moo] Special Baronial at Home

[Janie Darby]

Greetings!

This Wednesday, Stierbach's Baronial at Home will be held at the Occoquan 
Forest common area, which features a picnic shelter, large playing field, a 
fire pit, and a small boat dock, on the Occoquan River.

It is our intention to hold a "mock Baronial Court" in which we will go 
through what Court entails - who does what and how it is done - so our 
Newcomers will be more at ease with the process.

We will bring our Coleman grill, along with some burgers and hotdogs, and 
some soda. Side dishes or other meats are welcome. ;-)

This is a garb-optional gathering. We will be in garb, in keeping with the 
Baronial Court theme, but it is not required.

Weather/time permitting, there might even be a Bardic Circle (it would be a 
shame to waste a perfectly good fire pit.

In the event of rain, there may be a sign posted to re-direct you to our 
house instead. (The road down to the pavillion is steep and not always in 
the best of condition.)

For those of you who have been to our house, you will turn right one street 
before ours, go to the end of the street, and go through the gate at the end 
down the hill.

Directions:

>From Manassas and points west:

Take best route to Prince William Parkway east.
Turn left on Yates Ford Road.
Turn right on Davis Ford Road.
After crossing Occoquan River, make first left turn onto Occoquan Forest 
Drive.
Turn right onto Split Rail Drive (third road to the right). Split Rail is a 
dead-end road. At the end of the road you will find a dirt road with a gate, 
which will be open. Proceed down the steep hill with caution. The pavillion 
will be on your right at the bottom of the hill.

>From points east, and from I-95:

Take Prince William Parkway west.
Turn right on Davis Ford Road. After approximately three miles you will see 
signs for a stable, a curve, a hill and an intersection.
Turn right on Occoquan Forest Drive (if you cross the river at the foot of 
the hill, you missed the turn). Follow directions above.

spotty, depending upon what service you have.
