After one day of solid travel, the first stop: Ohio's capitol in Columbus. |

|
Closed a gap of mine on I-70, giving me a continuous stretch from Indianapolis to Frederick MD. |
|
The ever-elusive two-state-highway BGS gantry. |
Going in and out of West Virginia quickly on I-470 (clinched) and I-70. |
|
Going in and out of West Virginia (again) on I-79 and I-68. |
Still in the Mississippi River watershed. |
Sideling Hill cut. If I had known the visitors center would close permanently two weeks later, I might have asked to stop. |
I-68 zero to clinched! |
From here, going in and out of West Virginia quickly (yet again!) on US 522. |
West end of I-66. Came into Rosslyn with some light left. |
Line down the block for the National Museum of American History. |
Views from the Old Post Office |
Had a little time for checking things out before scheduled Capitol tour. |
|
Chandelier in Old Supreme Court |
Capitol Rotunda bustling with tourists |
|
Left: Tour guide demonstrating acoustics of Old House Chamber. Right: The vice president of the Confederacy. (Wait a second...) |
Detail of Tama Jim Wilson on decorative doors |
Louis Kossuth, namesake of Kossuth County, hanging out in an alcove. (Iowa connections everywhere!) |
One of Iowa's two Statuary Hall statues that may or may not eventually be replaced by Norman Borlaug. |
How's this for a unique, rare sign find? This was at Constitution and 2nd, but Google Street View makes it look like this sign is gone now. |
Taking a day trip to TWO state capitols, but first to go across the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge. |
