I’ve seen some postings on FR about a Washington gathering in early September. I always like to take a vacation after Labor Day when things are less crowded. I’m planning to make DC a stop this September so I can join this gathering. If you’re retired or can schedule a vacation for September, then it should be possible to attend such an event. In Chicago, I’ve seen the dates April 15 and July 4 for a local gathering. I will be attending those events as well.
Ok, but don’t misunderstand. This is NOT a “vacation,” would not be a visit when things are “less crowded.” The entire intent is to so disrupt and tie up business that even the drivebys can’t ignore it.
