Bah, humbug! (Informational) Irene is still giving me fits. The route I uploaded had me driving all the way to the Prince William Forest RV Campground in Dumfries VA on non-Interstate roads.

Thanks for the tour
I was thinking about you and your up close view of Discovery as I was watching it on TV. Great that you were able to witness two memorable events in "her" life. I did not get to Mt. Vernon so enjoyed your review and pictures. Thanks for taking time to share your adventures with us. I was in DC in July before 9/11 so the Pentagon memorial and King memorial were also new and interesting to hear about. I'm so glad you are able to enjoy so many things as you travel. Be safe!!! Love you.
