    1/22 ‐ Airport

    I know this is a picture of the Burke train station, but if the plan at the link below came to fruition, this would have been the middle of the Washington DC Airport!

    Beacon Field is now the home of Beacon Center along Route 1 in Fairfax County.

    I had a bunch of pictures to choose from, but I decided on this one.

    Haha. I stopped dreaming of them and actually went!! I see no reason to come back to DC for a while.

    And a historical marker to boot!

    I was planning to go to the actual airport. But it would have been 30 miles round trip, and with my bike having acted up so badly yesterday I wasn’t willing to chance it. So I went for a more modest goal. The only issue was getting to a Metro station that was above ground, so I wouldn’t have to go inside to get the photo.

    So pleased they’re releasing mom earlier from hospital than they had expected. But it definitely cut into biking time – no complaints – but not many miles either!

    Good to hear your mom is doing well.

    I’m glad they did something positive with that property. When I was in high school at Fort Hunt (many moons ago), that hill was the destination ride and involved crossing Rt. 1 – which even then, was terribly dangerous. So of course, being 15, my friend and I thrilled to do twice each trip.

    This post is like the scene in “The Princess Bride” with Iocaine powder:”What you do not smell is Iocaine powder…”
    What you do not see (except for a couple of lights in the distance) is Davidson Airfield on Fort Belvoir….a1f8a417fad1a6f509b6158dfd98916d.jpg

    I had intended to ride to the College Park Airport, but my ten year old wanted to ride to the library first, and then the pannier was so full of books….
