Anyone interested in going to Battleship Cove?

This is just a spur of the moment thing, so bear with me.

This Thursday, or Friday if Thursday doesn't work out, I'll be heading out to Battleship Cove (http://battleshipcove.com/) in Fall River, Massachusetts. I haven't been in eight years, and plan on taking lots of pictures and putting together a photo tour of the museum in the coming weeks.

I've been visiting this site since 1998, been writing book reviews since 2006, but have never actually met any of the forum regulars, or anyone who's ever contributed to this site. I can't say I have any set-in-stone plans for my visit yet, but would anyone in the RI/CT/MA area be interested in an informal get together at the museum? I'm going along with my uncle Rudy, who was in the Navy for 37 years (he's now retired) and wasn't even aware the place existed until a few months ago, but I figure I can split my time.

Again, I'm just floating an idea, and I seriously won't be disappointed if it just turns out to be a silly dream. I still need to know just when I'll be there!

Sounds like a great time, but being in the center of the country I cannot make it. I'll go to an active Minuteman 3 (LGM-30G) site instead.

No pictures allowed.
