Rrrod, welcome to Free Republic! (Thanks again, Comwatch, for telling me about that Rally for America link.)


I'm listening, I'm right here! What do you need help with? We often have people come from out of town. Great that you're coming from North Carolina. I assume you mean you'd like driving directions? I'm pinging in this post a couple of others who often come from out of town in case they have guidance on the how-to-get-here point. But of course, once you get to DC, it's easy to *see* the Washington Monument.

Most direct way is I-95 North to DC. When you get to Springfield VA look for signs to Whashington DC and I-395. Stay on I-395. When you see signs for "Crystal City" or the "Pentagon", you're damn close. Start looking for signs for the 14th Street you'll cross the Potomac. Stay left and you should be on 14th Street. The US Mint is right there. You should be able to make a left at Independence which is the 2nd Stop light and first cross street. If not you can turn left at the next light and loop back to Independence. We'll be on the South side of the Monument. If you take a right ath the first taffic light after you come off the 14th street bridge there is a parking lot on at the end of that street. If you are coming from Charlottesville you can come up I-81 and head east on I-66. I-66 ends on Constitution Avenue. Stay on Constitution to the Washington Monument. Hang a right after you pass it.
