Meetup Description: Historically, mid-April is the best time to visit the BROT for spectacular, blanketed fields of bluebells! This bluebell stand is said to be one of the largest in the eastern United States. Fingers & paws crossed we'll be there just at the right time to enjoy them!

Please do not RSVP unless you are sure you can attend. If you don't know for sure, then please wait until closer to the date before you RSVP. Do not RSVP just to hold a spot for yourself, it is unfair to other members.

To reach Bull Run, take I-66 to Exit 52 (Route 29) at Centreville, drive 2 miles south, turn left onto Bull Run Post Office Road and follow the signs to the park entrance. Park in the lot near the pool.

-----
Carpooling:
For those of us who live outside of Fairfax County, we'll put together a carpool at the Centreville Park-n-Ride lot just a few miles north of Bull Run so we can drive to the park together and share on the entrance fees. More details will be available as we get closer to the date and figure out who all will be there.
