Point of Rocks, MD (USA)

[teleworked worked at home all morning - at 1300, left Alexandria after filling up the gas tank - drove to Dulles Town Center on I-495, I-66 and VA-28 (grr... traffic) - exchanged a water filter for a better one at Eastern Mountain Sports (1400) - then drove north via VA-7 to US-15 (more traffic!!!) - crossed Potomac at Point of Rocks (ugghhh - even more traffic!) - stopped in Frederick (at Fort Detrick) for some adult beverages (1530) - called Kara after I got headed north again - she said she might be able to meet up with me around 1730 - stopped in Boiling Springs to walk and wait for her to get home - visited with her and Caleb at their house in Mechanicsburg - had dinner (pizza) and helped take care of their grandkids - at around 2000, I took my leave and drove back to US-15 - used it to get to I-81 and then took I-78 - stopped in Myerstown for the night (Travel Inn - I've used it in the past and it is always a good price for a hotel!) - went to bed around 2230]
