FS2021 Point Prize #DCBoundaryStones

[Boomer Cycles]

Here is a good intro to everything that you need to know about finding DC boundary stones, which used to be an annual ride, first announced on this forum back in 2015 and organized by DC Boundary Stones, with great info links in the announcement below. The ride has lately been adopted by Gearing Up Bike Coop & Phoenix Bikes, among others, for late April until Covid-19 hit and the 2020 Ride was canceled.

It’s a metric century (100 km / 62 mile) ride if you do it all in one go, with lots of stop & go, and hills, FYI

Happy DC boundary stone hunting as some of them are well hidden, missing, or even buried 6 feet under landfill!

#DCboundary stone #1 South (together w/ @HokieBeth)

And in the beginning there was the first “south” boundary stone – at what is now Jones Point Park

Also, the boundarystones.org website is a good resource:

I have added the southern stone (previously visited the northern stone)

Looks like two of us stopped by SW9 #DCBoundaryStone today at the border between Arlington County and City of Falls Church.

A bunch of us Marylanders biked down into VA this morning to see the southern stone. We rewarded ourselves with croissants. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22406[/ATTACH]

And here’s my picture for the Southern DC Boundary Stone.

I know the route to the eastern stone, if anyone wants assistance with that one.

After missing the south stone by 20 yards yesterday, I got the West Boundary Stone in Andrew Ellicott Park (Sunday 1/10).

I hereby submit my 3rd of 4 corner boundary stones: the western one

I got my second and third boundary stones today. North and east. Apparently the east stone is far more ferocious– it has a much taller cage!
