Leaving for DC tomorrow (any one on the way?)

I'll be leaving for Arlington on Friday. After a two-day pit stop visiting relatives in Wisconsin, I'll be heading onward. Will be taking my time (from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday morning) so I was thinking if any members live along the way I could swing around for a visit.

My route:

I-39 between Madison, WI and Bloomington, IL
I-74 between Bloomington, IL, and Indianapolis, IN
I-70 from Indianapolis through Dayton and Columbus, OH through the WV panhandle to the south Pittsburgh suburbs
I-79 from Washington, PA to Morganstown, WV
I-68 through the Maryland panhandle
I-70 to DC

I'll have internet access through Sunday, so if you're on the way and would like to visit the one and only, let me know!

Sounds like a fun trip. Be safe and enjoy. I'm just a tad out of your way to visit.

Well, I’m in Hong Kong so that pretty much rules me out…

I wonder if there's ever been a large group WAB meet-up somewhere? It'd be great and we'd all have lots of laughs. Just based on forum demographics, if it's happened before, it'd probably have been in the US and/or India.

Anyway, Hope you have fun Ironduke. Driving across states I'm sure is relaxing, fun and crazy! Take care!

I'll probably park at a Wal-Mart in the NoVA suburbs somewhere and sleep in my car Tuesday night before getting to the house I'll be staying at for a short while after rush hour Wednesday. Avoiding all rush hours is a priority, the reason I'm taking I-70 instead of I-80.

You should move in somewhere inside the belt, something like 1625 Pennsylvania, er something. That'd be funny.

I think Matt'll be lucky not to turn into a nut, period!

Seriously, have a safe trip and good luck in your new surroundings

Well, I arrived Tuesday afternoon. Staying in Rosslyn temporarily. Took the metro into DC yesterday and saw most of the major landmarks. Looking for something permanent at the moment.

Do you have a particular organization/agency in mind that you would like to work for?
