Wander project Germantown MD (#365_recap!)

As part of today’s wander, I am going to wander all of the picture’s I’ve taken on my Cell phone in the past two weeks or so. It is pictures taken by cell phone and also by my weather station. (Bloomsky – also creates time-lapse of a day’s weather, amazing!). The images are taken with my iPhone, and I am taking more because of the #365_day_photo_challenge. The first problem for me was picking pictures to share.

The wandering part of today is in and around Germantown Maryland, or just into Maryland on the other side of the American Legion Bridge. If I were a veteran, I would probably want to have the bridges name changed. It is the primary bridge between Northern Virginia and Maryland (unless you go down to DC proper). If you are in what is DC proper, you have several choices of bridges to cross to get over the Potomac River.

If you are in Tyson, Fairfax, Falls Church or so on, towns connected to the DC Beltway (its called the Capital Beltway) you have two options. You can head west to Leesburg Virginia and cross the river on 15. The risk is you are adding 30 miles to a 30-mile trip. Or you can cross the American Legon Bridge. Driving to NVA, cross the bridge into DC and then coming back towards Maryland is another option but again you are adding 20 miles to a 30-mile trip and sometimes, 4-5 hours to that trip. Slogging it out on the one bridge is your best option. At least you have a shot at getting home before the sun goes too far towards the other side of the world!
