Good afternoon
- A new "trail", the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail, was inaugurated today. It doesn't include any new pavement or anything - just signs and education material. Still, I bike past this point every time I bike commute "But not far from the intersection with Eastern Avenue — near the Popeyes Chicken attached to the Shell gas station — is the spot where Commodore Joshua Barney placed his guns in a last-ditch effort to save the capital during the Battle of Bladensburg on Aug. 24, 1814." and I had no idea.
- The new Park Service policy about mountain bikes on trails will not unleash bikes on every trail.
I'd like to get mountain bike access in at last some parts of Greenbelt National Park.

In boy scouts [x] decades ago, I remember doing a bicycle ride over 2 days that followed the British march on Washington and the Battle of Bladensburg.

Cry "Havoc!" and unleash the bikes of war.

Not everthing should be used less we use it up.
Rock Park Let it be. Let it be so that there is some green space just to be. to be green for no other purpose then to be a green space.
It is better than anything man can make. Leave it alone so you will have a place to be alone.
A place to heal your soul.
