I'll check my schedule to see if this is a possibility.
Few questions,
I notice as of this morning no one has registered, what is the minimum # of attendees that is required to ensure this event takes place?
Lodging? Anyone plan on spending the night? I'll look for a campground close by, but if I cannot find one within reasonable distance, I will be getting a hotel room. Does anyone plan to spend Saturday night in a hotel? Would be cool if those that were were in the same hotel. I'll post up here in a bit with what I find both hotel wise and campground wise.

Not much luck on Campgrounds, but there is a:
Comfort Suites Martinsburg
1937 Short Road
Kearneysville, , WV 25430 United States
and
Holiday Inn Express
681 Flowing Springs Road
Ranson, , WV 25438 United States
(877) 410-6681
The Holiday Inn Express is a little but further from Kearneysville, but not by much.
I'll likely make a reservation at one of the above here in a few days.

Chris, I will only be able to do one day (Sunday). There is a KOA campground in Harpers Ferry which can't be that far away.
KOA in Harpers Ferry is very nice. Only about 10 minutes away from range.

KOA is very nice and a great place to go Halloween camping with the Kids but very tight sites.
Wish I could make this. I have family in Charlestown and would love to drag them to this. I forwarded a link and will try to convince them.

I had been looking at the Holiday Inn Express. I wasn't going to subject anyone else to my snoring but we should coordinate if others would be staying at the same place.
