Day Two!

My one and only goal today was to see the White House. Check.

On top of that, I saw the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol Building, along with hundreds of other sights in DC. Plus, I crossed the Appalachian Trail in Maryland, which was really cool seeing as I just hiked Katahdin on Saturday, where my crew met two people who had finished the entire AT that day. Trail Magic :D

I never realized how beautiful it was driving westward through the Appalachian Mountains. I’m so accustomed to the flat views off the Maine highway, that to weave between mountains & coast for miles was amazing.

Today’s firsts included: all things DC, West Virginia, Ohio, and realizing that a place exists on earth where there is NOT a Dunkin Donuts every 5 miles, only to later realize they were all replaced with Subways.

For the next few days I’m heading southwest!

PS: Not sure if the pictures I attached will upload or not. Campground wireless is… campground wireless.
