    There’s a link to the Google Map at the bottom of this blog entry on the FABB Site:

    I would take W&OD to FFX Co Parkway, then head south on the sidepath. Follow the map from there. Wall Rd. Goes through from Centerville Rd.

    Thanks, I think that will be what we’ll do, sounds like getting across Centerville Rd will be a little tricky.

    yes, you want wall to air & space museum parkway. historically I’ve stayed right to go up the bus entrance.

    Additional comments my commute passes Wall Rd: I’d exit Fairfax Pkwy at either West Ox and take McLaren to Centerville Rd, or at Franklin Farm Rd. McLaren has narrow lanes, no shoulder, and may have fast traffic. There is a sidewalk – I generally do not use it (poor condition). You can exit McLaren at Cobra and take Kinross Circle to Centreville Rd. Franklin Farms is generally slower traffic, you can work through subdivisions to get closer to Wall Rd or just come up the 1 block from Franklin Farms. If southbound on Centreville Rd, the southbound sidewalk is unusable approaching Wall due to construction. The ariel view is dated – there is a new townhous ecomplex going in north of Wall and an office building on the south side. Northbound sidepath is in decent condition, just watch the drivers -they pay zero attention to anything or anyone on the sidepath. Wall itself & Air & Space Pkwy are fine.

    Enjoy the museum visit and saving on the parking fee!
