Thanks for all the great ideas, Beaver friends! My first college major was history. It's always been a fascination. Bill and I have worked the history into our travels throughout the U.S., but the east coast has such a wealth of exploring opportunities that making choices has been challenging. We have managed to explore a new area each day, with the Beaver as our "magic carpet." After DC we'll move to Gettysburg as a base camp, always ready to drive an hour or so for more exploring. Please continue with your great ideas. I've made a list, circled points on the map, and programmed the GPS!
