| A tour I am doing in late March 2008. I'm doing it in four days, and camping all but the first night. Many thanks to bikewashington.org, atatrail.org, the authors of Linking Up, and the organizers of Crushing the Commonwealth. Each of them contributed (mostly unwittingly) to this route. Very little is of my own design. |
