McCrary Visit

[MrsBlakeney]

I was wondering when any one was going to visit McCreary any time soon. I would like to travel with someone at least from the airport since this will be my first time going. I am open to go anytime but really hoping to go in June.

Prison Talk Online cannot accept responsibility for rideshare or carpool arrangements made between members.

Members are advised that they make these arrangements at their own risk and in no way can PTO be held accountable for any problems that arise.
________________________________________________

We would like to encourage our members to consider the following precautions when entering into a carpool/rideshare agreement with another member.

• Before agreeing to carpool, certain issues should be discussed and decisions made. Issues that should be settled immediately include members’ feelings about the radio, conversation, smoking habits and eating.

• You should also find out whether the vehicle, personal possessions, or clothing of either passengers or driver will contain illegal substances or contraband. This is a very important issue and should be addressed with your fellow travellers. Prisons routinely search vehicles and you should be aware if there is a possibility of something being discovered and action taken. Most states do not allow firearms, cameras or alcohol on prison grounds - do your research, find out what is the local policy.

• Agree in advance on reimbursement for driving expenses, meals, toll roads, parking fees and so on. Agree on a way of payment and a timescale for payment to happen.

• If you don’t know your carpooling buddies, feel free to ask them about their driving record. Make sure they have a valid drivers licence.

• Make your pick-up point a public location until you thoroughly trust the other individual.

• Use common sense and trust your instincts; with a little preparation carpooling can be very rewarding and often leads to long lasting friendships.

Finally, have a safe journey and enjoy your visits.

I all I took a friend to McCreary last weekend, my gps couldn't even find it. It's tucked away off a little winding road.

gerib2, do you live close to McCreary? Do you know someone that is in McCreary? I am looking for some way to get from the airport to the hotel that is near the prison and then from the hotel to the prison. I am not sure if I will be able to rent a car, I am calling around now to see if I can. I don't have a credit card and most places require them.

I'll probably go in June, but I will be driving from MD and staying Parkland motel. If we are there at the same time I don't mind riding you to the prison.
