Anyone familiar with Baltimore County's Trench Weekend? An excellent trng. program with LOTS of hands-on and is reasonbly priced. Does anyone have an idea as to when it is this year?

Billy,

It's in York County PA now, they are doing Collapse Ops in Baltimore. They moved the weekend last year but it had to be postponed due to 9/11. The dates are 9/13-15. I have the contact info if you want a brochure, just email me at shadwsam@aol.com.

I've gotten a large volume of emails asking about this, so to make everyone's life simpler (and my inbox smaller) the contact person is Anthony Hoover, his email is hfd461chief@earthlink.net

Contact him directly for a brochure for the September training.

Thanks!
