Jay,
Try Baybridge, W29. It's really not out of the way for you. There's a
nice seafood restaurant within walking distance of the airport. It's
got great views of Chesapeake Bay from the outside dining area. Sorry
I can't remember the name of the restaurant. Maybe someone else from
the group can give Jay a more up to date pirep on the place. I was last
there about 5 years ago.

Have a safe trip.

Hmmm, last I checked Iowa was West of Dulles and Bay Bridge was East.
Besides, if I was going out that way I'd stop at Kentmore and go over to
the Marina for crab cakes.

Well, our upcoming trip to Dulles has been expanded. Weather
permitting, we'll be leaving this coming Wednesday, heading up to Door
County, WI, spending the night there, and proceeding up to Mackinac
Island on Thursday for brunch. From there we ill be heading direct
to the Washington, D.C. area, over the top of the Great Lakes.

It ought to be a beautiful trip!

This routing would mean approaching Washington from the north instead
of the west. I plan to stop short of the ADIZ for lunch, get all of
my ducks in a row with an ADIZ flight plan, and then have a
(relatively) short flight into Dulles from there. (Margy, will
arriving on Thursday work, or do I have to wait till Friday?)

ANYWAY -- it appears that I've got quite a few good choices for
stopping -- but maybe you "local" guys can steer me to the best
food? I've picked a few that are right on my flight plan, but I'm
open to suggestions:

1. Bedford, PA (KMHZ) is just 35 minutes from Dulles.
2. Cumberland, MD (KCBE) is just 30 minutes from Dulles
3. Martinsburg, WV (KMRB) is just 15 minutes from Dulles

Of these three, which would you recommend? Or, alternatively, what's
a better stop?

Also, I have just started researching this ADIZ flight plan stuff.
One fellow who wrote me off-line referred to "VOR gateways" into the
ADIZ, which implies that there are set "routes" via VORs through the
ADIZ into Dulles. Is this correct, or (once I've been assigned a
discrete squawk code and have my ADIZ flight plan activated) can I fly
GPS direct from the point where I enter the ADIZ straight into Dulles?

Thanks for your help!
