The 2010 Geminids peak the night of December 13th into the morning of the 14th.

The [[../StandardCampingList]] should perhaps be supplemented:

 * A real sleeping bag that can withstand actual freezing temperatures
 * Many, many more socks and layers of clothes in general
 * handwarmers/bootwarmers
 * earmuffs/scarf/serious hat

I haven't called to get any camping info yet, but here's some possible sites:

 * South Mountain seemed feasible, but vague on camping facility details. [[http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/western/washington.asp|Deets]]
 * Big Run State Park [[http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/western/bigrun.asp|Deets]]
 * Maybe one of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club cabins? [[http://www.patc.net/PublicView/Cabins/PublicView/Custom/PATC_Cabins/Cabins.aspx?hkey=5f0b8e83-6571-45fb-aec3-819ca09d651c|Deets]]
 * Assateague?
