I've heard much about the "Basin". Sounds like an interesting place. What's the deal with it? What keeps it from getting shut down? Where exactly is it? I'd like to go on MapQuest and look it up on the satellite imagery.

Here in the DC metro area nothing stays the same way for very long due to development. Local clubs have a hell of a time keeping a field. We've found a bunch of informal flying sites, but it's like hopscotch, get booted, find someplace else. Hell, even if you OWN the land, one person gripes about noise and the Zoning board has the power to force you to cease and desist under their "nuisance" regulations.
