Saturday, April 12 -- Vacation Day 2


After breakfast, we drove north to Annapolis, Maryland in the pouring rain. On Route 50 a SUV hydroplaned in the far left lane. It spun and then spun around again, shattering the guard rail. One of the wheels rolled across the highway, hitting our car on the passenger front fender. We pulled over to the side of the highway. The SUV driver was only slightly hurt but his lab dog was flung out the back and had vanished. His vehicle was totaled. My son and the man tried to find the dog but were not successful.

We had lunch at the Federal House Bar & Grille in Annapolis. We walked up the street to the front of the State Capitol Building where we saw the statue of Roger Brooke Taney, Chief Justice of the United States of America (Dred Scott case). I saw the Maryland State Capitol Building Dome (NGS Benchmark) but failed to take a photograph. We walked through a couple museum-style gift shops. We drove through the Annapolis Naval Academy. On the way home we found the “Dark Side of the Moon (micro) Cache #6.”
