I started the day at Peggy’s House in Silver Springs. I ended the day at Fort Frederick State Park.

Here is a short description of the day:

Glad it’s Sunday, DC traffic is beastly.
Hit the road around 1 pm. Even on Sunday, DC freeways are tough. Crazy sports bar, then peace and calm at the campground.

Here is a short description of the evening:

There are trains on both sides of the campground. Amtrak is right across the river, and the river isn't very wide. On the landward side of the campground, huge freight trains follow the C&O Canal. So there is a lot of train noise.

On the other hand I saw a bald eagle, who rested in a tree directly across the river from me for 1/2 hour!

Cost is $16 + a $6.25 "transaction fee". They charge the reservation fee even if you walk in and take a site for tonight. What a crock.

Story for today: Washington DC and the Potomac.
