Double O Good Alpaca Ranch
Comments:There are a large variety of the animals and on some days the barn is open to
see them up close, often with someone to tell about them. They have a website and "show and tell days can be
determined. Just up Rt 29 a short distance past Rt 15 is Cerro Gordo Rd. If you follow
that to Falkland Dr. you will see the

Taking the grandchildren on the VRE can be fun...
Comments: The last train in the morning departs from Broad Run Station in Manassas as late as
7:50 a.m. and
goes as far as Union Station. Return trips begin at 1:15 p.m. Children under age 6 ride free.
Contact Information: WWW.VRE.ORG or 1-800-RIDE-VRE.

Comments From Resident:
- If you don't get to the Broad Run Station before 7:00, you will
not be able to park unless you park on the side of the road. When it's
muddy, you get stuck.
- I use the VRE periodically, going in on business. I have found, probably
because of telecomuting and flextime, that on Mondays and Fridays I can find parking
at Broad Run even around 8 a.m.
- Manassas Park still has parking.
