Port Tobacco, MD (USA)

[Mollie and I left on another adventure today (it was a rare sunny day!) - we drove across the river to Maryland (1230L) and followed MD-210 down towards Indian Head (I showed Mollie the gate) and then drove towards Port Tobacco on MD-225 - I had been here before (see MAY 2013) but it is never the same without Mollie... - she completed her Junior Ranger badge after a nice hike outside (she said she liked the place because it was so quiet) and we started driving back towards home - I had promised her we would check out the Tanger Outlet Mall and figured we could get gas close by - I miscalculated, though, and we ended up running out of fuel after attempting to make it to National Harbor (almost made it...) - it had been a VERY long time since I had run out (1990 ?) - we squeezed our car up against the "shoulder" on an inclined exit ramp and walked about 100 meters to the gas station - I had to buy an overpriced gas can and pay a lot just to fill it up - when we returned to the car, there was a Metro bus trying to pass our car (and a huge line behind it) - we didn't get too many nasty looks... - actually, someone tried to stop and help us, but the gas tank did the trick - after getting the car started again, I tempted fate again (because I was ticked off at the amount of money I had spent) and we drove back into Virginia to fill up the car again - Mollie was a good sport throughout (and didn't even give me too much trouble...) - we made it home by 1700L and Mollie got everyone in the house into a good laugh at my mistake - it was a great day!]
