Here is a map of
the area that will help get you to the
Meadowview Shopping
Center.
The parking lot
is the X 'ed oval area.
The map is not to
scale, but should serve as a good guide
for those not familiar
with the area.
Meadowview is at
the SE corner of
Kennedy Dr (Rt 45)
and Brookmont Blvd.
KARS Foxhunts start
in the parking area just west of the cinema
in the middle of
the Meadowview Shopping Center.

Brief Story:
Friday, the day before the
fox hunt program
there was a rather large
group of enthusiastic
fox hunters gathered around
one of the outdoor
vendors that was selling
fox hunt transmitters.
I stopped and soon Marvin
Johnston KE6HTS struck up
a nice conversation about
t-hunts and the like.
I didn't find out till the
next morning that
Marvin was one of the featured
guest
speakers of the ARDF talks.
Very nice down to earth
fellow indeed.
Marvin is mentioned throughout
Homing-In.
