During certain months of the year it’s difficult to take long road trips. Camping isn’t an option. Weather doesn’t cooperate. Parks are closed for the season.
At the same time, I live near some of the world’s greatest cities. Washington D.C. and New York City are two excellent examples and they’re both a reasonable travel distance from my home. I’m committed to not repeat my past mistakes; I will take advantage of getting to know great places near where I live.
This page is about trips to appreciate that lie close at hand:
Key West, FL – A one day round trip the the southernmost point in the U.S.
Great Falls Park – Hiking a National Park which straddles the Potomac.
Manhattan’s Bridges – Walking across every passable bridge to the island.
Carderock Park – A Potomac park that’s often seen but rarely visited. <fix>
Sun Power – The Solar Decathelon international exhibition. <fix>
Walking Broadway – From top to bottom down Broadway in NYC.
Roosevelt Island: An island park in the middle of the Potomac River. <fix>
… and many more to come! Travis
