Fletcher’s Boathouse is an inadequate reference to “tippy canoe.”

Take a pic of a bike by my 15″ wide sprint kayak. It is a tippy canoe!

JQA… Should have been Mikey’s but he let me steal it.

I just wonder if people working in the JQA building wondered why of all days people kept stopping in front of their obscure corner of campus and snapping photos.[ATTACH=CONFIG]4493[/ATTACH]

I liked that only because it was Mikey’s and this challenge was all his great idea.

That said street signs are weak, and I will not ‘like’ them again. /rant

Rather than a lame street sign, one might find this:https://maps.google.com/maps?q=6600+Luzon+Avenue+Northwest,+Washington,+DC&hl=en&ll=38.969945,-77.033236&spn=0.014639,0.008787&sll=38.893596,-77.014576&sspn=0.937908,0.562363&oq=6600+luzon&hnear=6600+Luzon+Ave+NW,+Washington,+District+of+Columbia+20012&t=m&z=17&layer=c&cbll=38.969942,-77.033168&panoid=HGqVlrkWdrdMY94nUUPX3A&cbp=12,175.96,,2,7.87

Or perhaps the really ambitious could find this:http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Shenandoah/VanBuren_Furnace_photo.htm

Hey Subby,

Here’s your route in advance:

Hmmmm.

Van Buren. I don’t dislike Mikey’s all that much. But having bicycled 10 miles out of my way to get this one, I wanted to make sure it wasn’t moot before I even got home.

Well played, and now on to W.H. Harrison. Don’t remake his mortal mistake, wear your overcoat.

No one stopped for a pic in Ashburn today?

[Mikey]

Okay Dismal, you seem to be the master of the obscure. You got anything for Harrison close by that’s not Berkeley Plantation south of Richmond?

(This is admittedly obscure and may require some hints. First hint: this is not a geographical reference)
