"Don't forget the Mid Atlantic Chapter ISA Annual meeting in Virginia Beach. October 2-4. Bring your surfboard!"

Or just do it without a board. When macisa was there 3 years ago the waves were up nicely and we went bodysurfing. Awesome experience!

BeachCam

Here is a link to the beach wave cam. There is also a link to check the local weather here. Bring you running shoes or bikes too if like to stroll on the boardwalk, there are lanes for bikes and pedestrians.

Re: BeachCam

That was a great show. Let me attach a pic of the sunrise from my balcony there so you all can enjoy the beauty there and I can test the resize option of new software I have.

Re: BeachCam

Treebuzzers attending the MAC-ISA Conference in Virginia Beach (October 4, 2006). From left to right: Treena, Treebeach, Bustus, and Guymayor. Not pictured is Mark Chisholm (because he skated out of town early).

P.S. The Bruins jersey is for you Mark!

Re: BeachCam

Nice pic for sure! I wish I was in it. At least we got a chance to grab dinner. I wish I had another day to stay and see Treebeech too!

Oh, and nice jersey! I actually play on two "Bruin" hockey teams here.

Re: BeachCam

Bustus - nice pic! I was happy to be apart of the crew and of the conference!
