Started out the day with a total lack of planning and ended up wandering into Maryland from Virginia over the Potomac River Bridge on Highway 301. We really had no agenda for Maryland so we went to the Visitor Center at the border, putzed around a few rural highways and chickened out by going back to Virginia. We are certain of one thing about Maryland – they charge you $6 to take a two-axle vehicle across the Potomac Bridge back to Virginia. Now we can say we have been in Maryland albeit for about an hour. Peg drove almost all the way resulting in our being able to find our way home to Colonial Beach.
Not surprisingly, the north bank of the Potomac in Maryland looks quite similar to the south bank of the Potomac in Virginia except Virginia has discount cigarettes as soon as you leave Maryland.
