[SkateDC] Skate Across Maryland Canceled Again (but this time for a different reason)

[George Marinkovich]

The Skate Across Maryland scheduled for Saturday (7/17/10) has been canceled due to geological instability.  It is simply not possible to "skate across Maryland" anymore, because a 27" gap has opened up across the state as a result of the great Gaithersburg/Germantown earthquake of 2010.  I cannot in good conscience lead a skate where someone could conceivably fall into this crevasse.  So I won't do it.  No sir!  At least this Saturday.  These things have a way of healing themselves so I would consider doing this skate on some future Saturday after the seismic situation has improved.

Cheers,
George
