A drive-thru lane at a bank in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
Participants
Expedition
After a Saturday of doing Washington D.C. things in Washington D.C., on Sunday I drove through the wilds of northern Virginia and into West Virginia, up to Martinsburg. It seemed like a fairly bustling town, but what do I know. I went to their City National Bank, took a few pictures, stopped by their Dunkin Donuts, and moved on.
It was my first geohash in West Virginia, and the little round trip got me to four new counties, so that was good.
About nine miles east is a tiny little college town called Shepherdstown, with a nice little book shop where I bought a few books and a nice little bike rental shop where I rented a bike. Over the bridge in Maryland is the old Chesapeake and Ohio Trail, which is a lovely little tunnel through the woods next to the Potomac River. It was raining pretty steadily for much of the ride, but the trees were thick enough that I stayed relatively dryish.
