Always wanted to go to Baltimore. Is that the USS Constellation in the background?

Dat sideways pic... Is this it? I didn't have a ton of time to explore, was just randomly snapping photos and walking around.

It was definitely cool and worth visiting if you get a change. DC was awesome too, could be a great trip to hit the Mid Atlantic, Baltimore, DC, some great hiking/nature stuff if you go inland a bit. Philly isn't far either, if you wanted to fit in a DFD :meat: up.

If you visit Baltimore, stay near the harbor. Outside of that is a bit to a lot more "risky"

Nah, that 3-masted frigate in the background of the other pic.

Just did DC this past summer, but wife has friends in the area so another trip back there may be doable. Plus, the Norfolk, VA area has been on our radar for a while so maybe we'd combine that as well.

Well, we left Charlotte this morning for Los Angeles. Today, we made it to Jackson, MS (what a place). I'm about to head to bed, on to Dallas tomorrow, I'm looking forward to only driving six or seven hours total and hanging out there.

If anyone would like to follow my tour on facebook, check out the new page we made for it:

It's an F-550, 29' long, 8.5' wide, 12' tall.

We did a 0-60 run at about 4k feet elevation yesterday, 31 seconds. :notbad: #Dangerouslyslow :plac:

That's a Carolina Panthers motto. For most of you: There is a game played on a rectangular field in which the object is to move an oblong ball from one end to the other. It is called "Football." The Carolina Panthers are a professional football team.
