[Sam Droege]

All:

If any of  you are planning to be in town on the 16th for the NAAPC 
meetings and are interested in seeing our lab, talking about specimen 
processing, work flow, and databasing our lab will be open all day.  We 
will be glad to show people any of our operations, get your hands dirty 
washing and pinning bees, and answer your questions about bee monitoring 
or picture taking.

Directions to the lab are below.

Directions from the intersection of the Washington Beltway (495) and the 
Baltimore Washington Parkway (295).

Travel NORTH outside of the Beltway towards Baltimore on 295.

In approximately 5 miles and about 3 exits you will come to an exit for 
Powdermill Road

Take the single exit ramp to Powdermill Road and turn LEFT

(NOTE:  The  main campus and the visitor's center for Patuxent Wildlife 
Research Center is to the Right, but our lab is located on Beltsville 
Agriculture Research Center property and therefore you must turn LEFT 
towards Beltsville)

Travel about 1.5 miles.

On your right you will see Entomology Road, this is a marker that your 
turn is coming soon.

Take the next right onto Center Road (note Center Road is not in most GPS 
mapping systems)

Travel to the last lab building on the left (there are no lab buildings on 
the right).

This will be building 308 which is very clearly marked.

Park in the parking lot out front.

At the door hit the button on the black box, wait for a reply, and then 
tell them you are here to visit me and they will let you in.

Alternatively, if someone is going in or out of the door you can follow 
them directly in.

I am in room 124.

Doors usually open.




The Inward Morning

Packed in my mind lie all the clothes 
Which outward nature wears, 
And in its fasion's hourly change 
It all things else repairs
