GC/DC #16
Thursday, October 06, 2022 (3:15 PM to 4:00 PM)
Once again, it's time for the monthly GC/DC event! Come join us at Flippin' Pizza for a geocaching event in The District. We will meet up at 3:15 PM and stick around until 4:00 PM. If anyone wants/needs to rideshare, please provide details in your "Will Attend" log.
Plenty of food and beverage options are available, but NO PURCHASE IS REQUIRED!
PARKING: Just a block north of the event you will have great odds to find street parking around GSA's Central Heating Plant (12th & D Streets SW and 13th & C Streets SW). Meters cost about 6 quarters an hour around there, but parking can also be achieved by using the "ParkMobile" app or the pay stations. Federal employees are typically getting off work around this time, and spots start opening up pretty quickly on the streets here.
Pay close attention to all street signs, because around 4:30 PM, certain sides of the roads are forbidden to be parked on (that'll get you a pretty pink $100 ticket courtesy of District Parking Enforcement). Also, unless you have a handicap placard, don't park at those red meters either.
There are a few parking garages nearby, but they could get expensive. Portals III on D Street is $20 for 3 hours. Portals I is next door to the event, but I don't know what the prices are.
Smithsonian and L'Enfant Metro stations are both a few blocks away. There's a Bikeshare station next to the USDA south building. If you're feeling really chipper, you can rent one of the many scooters that are on the sidewalks all over the city.
So, as you can see, there are lots of options when it comes to making it to this monthly event. I hope to see you there.
Special thanks to Manager Jermaine Bryant for giving written approval to make this a monthly thing.
