It was a familiar memory to see the bottom right hand picture in the new theme. We letterboxed near this monument in July. It's amazing to see this structure in person. There is a great Wikipedia article on the history of this monument. Look for Washington Monument State Park.

As for our letterboxing score: 1 found, 1 not found. But it was a real rocky road to discover that Washington never slept here!

Agreed! Saw the pic and immediately thought -- "Hey, I know what that is -- the first Washington Monument!" For anyone driving into DC from PA or MD, be sure to stop in. Beautiful views and one of the quietest tourist monuments you'll visit in the area.

Kinda looks like a giant milkcan :P

When I visited my sister in Middletown this summer, we went there to locate two letterboxes. One we found and the other we couldn't. It is beautiful there, but too humid for me.

It's the Maryland theme that you're talking about, right?

Yes, sorry. I figured the change was due to November 1 but it is the Maryland theme.

One of the only flaws I've found with Washington State is we don't have cardinals. Sigh.
