We are somewhat isolated from AEthelmearc and the East, but too much so.  
Montevale is less than an hour away, and Atlantia is just over the 
Potomac River from us.  I have tried to get people to ride to events, 
even with offers of free rides, but very few takers.  That's actually my 
main concern, getting people to go to events, because that seems to be 
where the real magic of the SCA resides.
