Washington and Old Dominion rail trail
does not seem to have a smartphone app,
unlike the other big regional route, the
C&O Canal Explorer, by the C&OTrust,
and the $1 cost of the C&O app
goes to it's maintenance...

In Falls Church near another one
or two previously
Sold lemonade (unknown sugar content
and low on money, so passed,
But had special k cereal brand
breakfast/energy/granola bars
With labeling, so checking ingredients
on the 3:
One chocolate,
one artificial sweetener,
So bought the third for $1
Tax included)
Also cookies, passed)
https://photos.app.goo.gl/o7x8RAegftwUXogdA
Said I'd make them famous
Showed the robots,
But they had a dog,
kid talking too fast for me
(Like girl scout cookies
eating all the profits?)
to even hear it
Day after century,
adult read the ingredients,
Strange guy on bench across,
didn't buy from,
eating his own stuff,
said he was enjoying it...)
Previously an old guy
wanted to be able to sell beer
I think the Little City
has enough places doing that
already...)
Kids huddled over me
a previous stand nearby,
bent cups fell, bought several
trying one of each
Standing over m exhausted
said they put something special
in it and wanted to see drink /
eat it.
Not all kids are good,
not all bad, beware of
too many at once
Unsupervised sufficiently
and cruelty, hating, sadistic,
etc.
Without permitting,
difficult to even know
who, what, etc
One or two for a charity
Doing the math,
Not likely to even buy a robot
at current list prices
doing a stand all summer,
Ymmv
Events
rides/ walks/ cleanup/ maintenance/ etc
to be aware of , even as a casual user,
for your safety and theirs
use of public resources
v. privacy
Permits required?
who to contact?
differences between years
similar/ different from?
diffs
fund raisers
supports
end time
v. signs left as trash
trash left as trash
v. pack it out
Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
A place to think about it,
Log idears,
hopefully make some progress on it,
Maybe as a fall project.
Partition out some,
especially maintaining it
to regional schools
Science, physical education classes, etc
Service Learning credits for doing that?
Like trail cleanup?
Not just manual labour
(Sp? EU/ Brit/ etc?)
but technical too...
ADA compliance?
Curb cutouts?
Other nature limitations?
Fairfax's CCT?
Storm effects?
