I should have said 10 miles, which is really about 15 minutes. There are only a few hours of the day that Im even interested in going on a freeway out here... the traffic is so bad that at the wrong time it can take 2 hours to go 10 miles. driving out here is nuts... : : My wife is recently back from visiting relatives and relayed her recent : chagrin at stop-and-go traffic in the Sunday early AM between : Fredricksburg and DC on I95. The non-stop traffic congestion is : definitely one aspect of living near the DC beltway that I don't miss. Theres been a lot of stuff going on in DC the last few weeks. between the normal onslaught of people visiting DC in the spring/summer, there has aslo ben a lot of events (like the ww2 memorial, regans corpse, ...) Driving and parking in DC is one of the things that has kept me from enjoying some of DC's sights... the nations capital does offer some bitchen stuff to do... DC does have Metro which isnt too bad, however its not cheap (about $10 for fare and parking) I much prefer a 2 mile bike ride in eugene to trying to find a parking spot in DC!
