Does anyone know of a good grass hill nearby where a giant 400 foot slip n slide could be built. It would be best if the hill lead to water, but it's ok if it doesn't

The mixing bowl hill, going from 95 on to 495 towards Tysons. Use the emergency lane, and wait until it rains.

The hill at sandy run park woudl be long enough and steep enough and leads to the water. But it's asphalt.

It's all private property in this shithole county so good luck with that. You better just go to the water park in Alexandria and get your jollies there. Besides how would you hook up water to run from the top of the slide anyway?

This is a good grassy hill. It's a lot steeper than it looks in the image.

Thanks for the good places. To get the water i would place a pool pump in the stream or whatever, hooked up to a generator for power and then hook up some hoses an d run them to the top. If i can pull it off it will be one good ass time.

All that planning but you can't find the hill by yourself? You'll make a perfect government employee.

i would look for areas along power line easements. maybe load google earth, set the terrain exageration on high, then follow some of the power line routes..
