    Thanks.

    I'm aware of mud season. And parking was going to be my next question.

    Can you recommend a source that would announce a new parking policy? Maybe their local paper or the ALDHA website?

    My parents decided to visit my brother in Maine, so they're going to drop me off at Journey's End on the way from Western NY. A lucky break, because I had no solid plan until they offered.
