Newbie from Washington D.C. / Maryland

[Casey Mcgoff]

Hi BP,

My name is Casey McGoff and I go to school a few miles outside of D.C., on the Maryland side.

I honestly don't know where to begin with REI, my goal is simply to HAVE a goal.

How long do I wait before jumping in? Is this too expensive of an area to start out in? How can I connect locally?

Thanks for being an awesome resource, BP.

Casey

just google it Casey washington Dc REIA groups you have one in Bowie and the other in Bethesda both are very close to you in College park . One is sherman the other I think is John and they also have one in northern Va. Everyone up here will tell you the same thing you only get out of it what you put into it. If I were you go to all of them and stick to the one you feel the best at.Stay on BP educate your self jump in and make mistakes like all of us but the more you do the less mistakes you make . wish you luck.Baltimore is 35 to 45 min from you sea pleasant and capital hights are 25 min from you .
