Default Slabbis Sluttius: Washington D.C. Pics

Went slab slutting downtown on Sunday and snapped a few pics.

The first pic is of the Georgetown steps. These are the steps that the demon threw the priest down in the classic movie "The Exorcist". As you can see, this is a big stair climb

Here's a video clip of a plane taking off from Ronald Reagan National Airport. Many people gather here and picnic at Gravelly Point to watch the planes take off overhead. Reagan has a very short runway so these planes are very low to the ground on takeoff. I used to take lunch breaks here during the week and watch the planes. Really cool...

I'd have loved to. But it didn't take very long for the Capital Police to scold me for pulling my bike up on the Capital Grounds sidewalk. But hey, it's a dual-sport The guy was cool though. You get alot of strange looks from people while riding a dirt bike through Washington D.C. I stuck out like a sore thumb.

I wonder if Nancy Pelosi isn't drafting a bill against it. KDX mike I don't know where in Maryland you live but have you ever riden in the George Washington National Forest? I live in Harrisonburg VA and I'm about 2.5 hours from DC. They run the Shenandoah 500 around here in October. If you haven't ridden it already it's pretty fun.

Thanks for the tip. I live in central MD and will check into the George Washington National Forest.
