The September 7th Chicago Tribune had an article by Katherine Skiba about President Obama making his tenth visit to Camp David. It is the ultra-private presidential mountain retreat a half-hour from the White House by helicopter.
Starting with FDR in 1942, presidents have gone to the 143-acre hideaway with its swimming, horseback riding, bowling, skeet shooting, movies and sleigh rides in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains and surrounded by a 5,810-acre national park.
SOME PRESIDENTIAL PERK
Obama is the 13th President to use it.
In addition to what I already mentioned, other activities available: rock-climbing wall, well-equipped gym, indoor tennis, batting cage, pitch-and-putt golf course (?), bike trails and bomb shelter.
More to Come. --Cooter
