Arlington, Virginia, to Williamstown, Massachusetts - March 21, 2007

The basic route: US 29 through DC and up to I-70, then I-695 to US 1 to I-476 to I-80 to I-287 to I-87 to I-787 to NY 7 to NY 22 to NY/VT 346 to US 7 and home.


In Arlington, Virginia. [Crop/Zoom: 793x586]

Getting ready to cross into DC. Good luck following US 29 once across the Key Bridge, though. [Crop/Zoom: 1004x1386]

Through the Georgetown area. [Larger: 1744x1308]

Into downtown DC. [Crop/Zoom: 575x603]

Tracked down US 29 again. [Crop/Zoom: 297x697]



At the beltway along Maryland 97 (lost US 29 somewhere). [Crop/Zoom: 1215x779]

Found the way back to 29 in Maryland. [Crop/Zoom: 529x457]

US 29 is being upgraded and is now a decent alternate to I-95 and the Baltuimore-Washington Parkway. [Larger: 1744x1308]

[Crop/Zoom: 1712x990]

Coming up on the northern end of US 29. It goes beyond US 40... [Crop/Zoom: 1197x1001]

..to I-70. [Crop/Zoom: 475x540]

[Crop/Zoom: 1665x675]

[Crop/Zoom: 497x850]

Coming up on the Baltimore beltway. [Crop/Zoom: 990x815]

[Crop/Zoom: 994x1111]

I believe this is technically a lie. [Crop/Zoom: 818x611]

[Crop/Zoom: 1705x754]

I-70 mile markers continue inside the beltway. [Crop/Zoom: 254x797]

[Crop/Zoom: 1183x479]

Until it ends at this park and ride. A 2100+ mile highway seems to deserve a more interesting end. [Crop/Zoom: 3102x1283]

Signs in the park and ride. [Crop/Zoom: 504x668]

Back to the beltway. [Crop/Zoom: 639x714]

[Crop/Zoom: 2380x1308]

US 1 is a bit congested but I expected worse. [Crop/Zoom: 361x526]

US 1 once out of the development near Baltimore. [Larger: 1744x1308]

[Crop/Zoom: 918x711]

[Crop/Zoom: 1226x765]

Pretty far north for a Waffle House.

Just some unusual numbers. [Crop/Zoom: 604x529]

[Crop/Zoom: 596x833]

US 1 crosses the Susquehanna here, but there seems to be a construction project. [Larger: 1744x1308]

[Larger: 1744x1308]

After a 3 or 4 minute delay, the northbound traffic gets to cross. [Larger: 1744x1308]

It's the Conowingo Hydro Dam. [Larger: 1744x1308]

[Larger: 1744x1308]

Passing the southern end of US 222. [Crop/Zoom: 268x372]

Arrival in Pennsylvania on US 1 means crossing the Mason-Dixon line. [Crop/Zoom: 804x494]

[Crop/Zoom: 1602x940]

US 1 is limited access for a while in southeastern PA. [Crop/Zoom: 1648x987]

Things get slower when US 1 has traffic lights. [Crop/Zoom: 786x579]

It's a complicated set of lights and turns to get from US 1 north to I-476 north. [Crop/Zoom: 1401x639]

[Crop/Zoom: 2155x940]

[Crop/Zoom: 471x575]

This looks like a promising lunch exit. [Crop/Zoom: 872x1158]

It wasn't, but it had this unusual warning sign. [Crop/Zoom: 536x561]

And it had Villanova University. [Larger: 1744x1308]

Back on 476, coming up on I-76. [Crop/Zoom: 1476x1076]

[Crop/Zoom: 1912x893]

Next, at the Pennsylvania Turnpike. [Crop/Zoom: 1983x875]

[Crop/Zoom: 1365x504]

Some red pavement on I-80. [Larger: 1744x1308]

It looks like the recent storm caused some tree damage. [Larger: 1744x1308]
