Starting about 45 miles north of Baltimore, I followed US Route 40 west into the city. Continue reading “Day 8: Maryland, Washington DC”
Days 6 & 7: Pennsylvania, Delaware, & Maryland, or, “The Land of Broken Glass.”
Philadelphia/Halloween was a nice chance to catch up with friends, do some recovering, and of course see what’s up on the Schuylkill. Continue reading “Days 6 & 7: Pennsylvania, Delaware, & Maryland, or, “The Land of Broken Glass.””
