A Visit to the Lincoln Memorial

Sadly, my weekend plans did not pan out as I hoped. I had to run an important errand on Saturday morning, and so did not get to Rock Creek Park in time for the 11 AM hike to Fort DeRussy. (Luckily, the NPS has another DeRussy hike planned for February 4. Perhaps I’ll have better luck then.)

Not wanting to waste a beautiful day, we found some parking on Constitution Avenue near the State Dept, and then ambled over the Einstein Memorial and then on to the Lincoln Memorial.

Always fun to visit Lincoln.
The weather was excellent, the crowds were thin. Certainly not a bad alternative to a fort hike.

The Reflecting Pool is being renovated,
and still looks pretty rough.
On Sunday, we made it to Fort Marcy. More on that tomorrow.
