John,
Is this the area on Jones Mill Rd (just below Stoneybrook) that is
blocked off until Aug3 or is this somewhere else?

Rally to Open the Rock Creek Trestle
Saturday, April 29, 1:30 - 2:30 p.m., rain or shine,
at Ray's Meadow Park on the Rock Creek Hiker/Biker
Trail (directions below).
Your support and presence is urgently needed next
Saturday, April 29, rain or shine, at the Coalition
for the Capital Crescent Trail's "Rally to Open The
Rock Creek Trestle." The rally will last about an
hour, beginning at 1:30 p.m. The event will also
focus attention on the completion of the Bethesda to
Silver Spring section of the Georgetown Branch/Capital
Crescent Trail (GB/CCT).
The Rock Creek trestle is a former B&O railroad bridge
that spans over the Rock Creek stream valley in Chevy
Chase. It is closed because it needs repairs, and its
closure forces Trail users to make a long, hilly
detour. Once re-opened, Trail users will have a
scenic and direct recreational and commuting route
between Silver Spring and Bethesda along the GB/CCT.
The Montgomery County Council will soon vote on the
2001 budget, and we'll need five votes to get trestle
funding. But there are many competing issues before
the Council, and this may be our last chance for many
years. Plan on spending an hour at our rally, and
help us make the trestle a part of the regional trail
network!
Directions to the rally:
Walking or biking is suggested. Ray's Meadow Park is
on the Rock Creek Hiker/Biker Trail one mile north of
Candy Cane City. 1/2-mile north of East-West Highway.
It is also located on the Georgetown Branch/Capital
Crescent Trail two miles east of Bethesda. If you
choose to drive, take East-West Highway to Meadowbrook
Lane (one block east of Beach Dive/Jones Mill Road at
Rock Creek) and go north on Meadowbrook one block to
the parking lot behind the synagogue.
For more information, visit our web site,

Thanks,
John Campanile/CCCT
