Cancelled due to weather - forecasted: three consecutive days of rain and wind.
Capital Bocking USA (June 27-28, 2009)
Expert bockers from across the USA decended upon the iconic Washington DC monuments and landmarks. We had lots of fun with a bocking tour of the "vibrant" parts of the city and we had the iconic monument bock! Suitable for beginers+ who can walk/balance on their own. With probably a dozen people in attendance, this is sure to be a spectacle not to be missed! Check out the Capital Bocking Website for more details on this event.
