Moderator Camp, Washington DC, 2007
They traveled for days...
Kevin, Robin, and Hazel
They came from around the world...
David and Maria
They lost much...
Maria, can you read the tag on the luggage?
The travels were arduous...
Norm, Coleen, and Elaine
Injuries...
Jeff and Barbra
By plane...
And train...
An uphill battle...
Some wanted to turn back...
But their friends helped keep them on track. Hazel and Sue
Some were tired...
Phil
Others confused...
Jim
But they finally made it... and they even had the will to smile. Well most of them did.
There were meetings!
And more meetings.
Tours!
And more tours.
Did I say "Tours"?
We drank a lot of water.
And Iced Tea
June, Heidi, and Ed with even more iced tea.
Frank not drinking iced tea, and Michael with a bit of a salad and iced tea.
David (iced tea), Jeffery (?), and Barbra (wine)
Stephen (lemonade?), Greg (lemonade?), and Sue (?)
Stephen eating butter, while David checks the menu, and everyone else looks at the ghost between Phil and Frank!

Hill, Sandie, and Elaine all drinking water... My Diet Coke in the foreground.
Kevin, Sue, Hill, Sandie (just a bit), Elaine's head.
And then there were the desserts...!

Enough for an army of moderators!
We saw more columns than an Excel spreadsheet.
There were OLD buildings
And they had names so you knew what you were looking at...
Some were familiar...
And unfamiliar...
Executive Office Building (V.P.'s office)
Some with links to Google Earth.
Smithsonian Castle
We were featured in a few of the museums...
They had maps of every kind.
And every location...
Other signs of interest...
A few things that interested me.
What do you mean "No Photography"?
Interesting choice of a name.
Ed's Placemark.
The parade that some of us watched in the heat.
Men in skirts!
Two things are wrong here... Men in skirts and BAGPIPES!
A story told in 3 photos...
Them are indeed large horses...
Hmmm... a large bucket and shovel.
Following the large horses, you don't want to step in anything.
Just Rocks?
Geiger, Roentgen and Einstein
Things older than Lrae
We can only "Hope".
Ouch... at least our food didn't have thorns!
Smiles...
Concentration...
Da Boss
Reflections!
