		<description><![CDATA[     Looking for something to do?  Just take a gander at The Montgomery Parks website! I have lived here all my life and am still amazed by how many Park Trails there are,  (6 miles of trails in the Cabin John Regional Park ALONE), and Historical Sites to see. There is SO MUCH right here [&#8230;]]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-731" href="http://bananablueberry.com/index.php/2009/09/a-little-field-trip-and-a-shout-out/locust-grove-nature-center/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-731" title="Locust Grove Nature Center" src="http://bananablueberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Locust-Grove-Nature-Center.jpg" alt="Locust Grove Nature Center" width="154" height="138" /></a>     Looking for something to do?  Just take a gander at <a href="http://www.montgomeryparks.org/">The Montgomery Parks website!</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I have lived here all my life and am still amazed by how many<br />
<a href="http://www.montgomeryparks.org/PPSD/ParkTrails/trails_MAPS/cabin_john.shtm">Park Trails there are</a>,  (6 miles of trails in the Cabin John Regional Park ALONE),</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and <a href="http://www.montgomeryparks.org/PPSD/Cultural_Resources_Stewardship/crs_sites2visit.shtm">Historical Sites to see</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There is SO MUCH right here to do For FREE!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Coming up?  <a href="http://www.montgomeryparks.org/enterprise/park_facilities/trains/cabin_john.shtm">The Train at Cabin John has a &#8216;Not-so-Spooky&#8217; train for little ones leading up to Halloween</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And Montgomery County is opening its <a href="http://www.montgomeryparks.org/facilities/dog_park/dog_parks.shtm">5th Dog Park right now in Bethesda!</a> Who Knew?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What prompted this post?  We found a wonderful, kid-friendly trail, clearly marked, right off of Bradley Blvd.  It&#8217;s part of the Cabin John trail system.  It even tells you- 1.2 miles to River Road, 3.7 (or something like that) to Macarthur Blvd.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And the website IS fantastic- tells you EVERYTHING there is to do!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">ENJOY!</p>
