Day 45-White Plains, New York to Washington, D.C.

In order to beat the New York City traffic, the guys leave White Plains, New York bright and early in the morning.
They were pleasantly surprised how little traffic there was on this Saturday morning.
The Statue of Liberty stands proudly on Ellis Island. Imagine what a welcome sight she was, many years ago, to all of those immigrants coming to the United States of America on those long, ship voyages to register at Ellis Island. Those tired, poor, huddled masses...
Stu, Fred and Ron with Lady Liberty in the distance.

The guys motor on through the streets of the city with a specific destination in mind.

Ground Zero, the site of the September 11, attack on the World Trade Towers. The guys visited the temporary museum.

Across the Hudson River the state of New Jersey is visible.

After leaving New York City, the guys traveled to Maryland on the New Jersey Turnpike. Making the ride complete, the guys wanted to finish where they began, at Canal Place.

Back in Chesapeake City to complete the journey!

Fred, Stu and Ron finish the 4 Corner Ride where they began at Canal Place in
Chesapeake City, Maryland. They have now ridden a total of 14,700 miles!

Cheers! Here's to a job well done!

The Dann's; Christopher, baby Brodie, Suzanna, and baby Isabel take time out of their day to let the guys back into the boatyard for photo opportunities. Thank you Christopher and Suzanna!

The boys missed Washington, D.C. on the front side of their trip. They didn't want to miss the sights there. This is the Lincoln Memorial.

This beautiful pool is part of the monument.

Unfortunately, the guys were unable to visit Arlington National Cemetary. The cemetary closed at 7:00 p.m., the fellows were in the area at 7:30 p.m. Because of the brave men and women that have served, and presently serve, our country, we enjoy many freedoms. Ron, Fred, Stu and Mike are thankful to those military personnel. Without them, they feel embarking and completing the 4 Corner Ride may have been an impossible freedom!
