Rode into town. Had trouble finding the zero mile marker along the water front. It was not at the end of the towpath which ended in the city in Georgetown. The marker was on the water front at the end of a local paved jogging path that Y'd off of the C&O path. After the obligatory pictures at the marker we went back into town and found a coffee shop and bakery and had brunch and said our goodbyes. We exchanged fb friends so we could follow the whole trips. Nick was a nice riding partner and was from Fairfield, Ohio, not too far from The Village of Cleves. I continued to use my google bike maps and got myself to the REI on the other side of town. No shopping in the area so had some buy some straps to strap my panniers together so I could carry them until I got into the Hotel and to a Walmart to buy a duffel bag. Took an uber to the Rosslyn Bus Depot and from there took the Airport bus to Dules. From there took the airport shuttle to the Hotel and after getting settled to the even hotel shuttle to the Walmart and bought a duffle bag and some dinner. Since there are no more days on the GPS I will mention that the following day I ended up with the traditional day after excitement migraine. By the evening was feeling better and took the shuttle to the mall and had dinner at a nice restaurant to celebrate and then we back and packed my duffel and got an early flight back to Sacramento the next morning. /via Salt Lake City on Delta. In Sac Cindy picked me and we went to Shalimar for Lunch, came home and stopped at moms for a visit and them home to greet the puppies. That's the end of my cross country bicycle trip
