Directions
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is at 6 Herndon Avenue in Annapolis. You can get there by taking US 50 east to exit 22, Md-665/Aris T. Allen Blvd. Go about 7.3 miles as 665 changes into Forest Drive and then Bay Ridge Rd. After those 7.3 miles, turn right onto Herndon Road and go a short distance and you'll see the Chesapeake Bay Foundation building and the parking lot for it. After you park walk down to the beach.
There's limited parking at the location, and we believe in carpooling wherever possible anyway! We've created a rideshare bulletin board that you can use to post rides and find rides. Go here to check it out: http://plunge09.erideshare.com/, the password is "ccan".

CONCORD, Mass. -- Dozens of brave New Englanders took the polar bear
plunge on Saturday to raise awareness on global climate change.
Activists dove into the icy Walden Pond shouting demands for action to stop the advance of global warming.
Some of the participants were even dressed as polar bears.
The thermometer on site read 38 degrees and the water was 45 degrees.
The polar bear plunge was just one of hundreds of similar events
held around the world as part of "Global Day of Climate Action."
